(In the school literature clubroom…)

Monika: “There! Everything’s all organized for the festival tomorrow! MC, Sayori, you two excited?”

MC: “Definitely, Monika! I can’t wait to see how everything turns out.”

Sayori: “Oh, yes! I’m super excited! It’s going to be so much fun sharing our love for literature with everyone.”

Monika: “I’m glad to hear that! I have a feeling this festival is going to be a big success. We’ve put so much time and effort into organizing it.”

MC: “Yeah, we have. It’s impressive how well everything has come together. I’m really proud of all the hard work we’ve put into the club.”

Sayori: “We couldn’t have done it without you, Monika. You’ve been such an amazing president, guiding us every step of the way.”

(Just then, the clubroom door opens and Natsuki walks in, very heavily pregnant and carrying a tray of cupcakes.)

Natsuki: “Hey guys, sorry I’m late. Pregnancy brain kicked in and I totally lost track of time.”

Monika: “Natsuki, you really shouldn’t be carrying all those cupcakes in your condition. Let me help you.”

(Monika quickly takes the tray from Natsuki and places it on the table.)

Natsuki: “Thanks, Monika. I appreciate it. Pregnancy sure isn’t easy, but I still wanted to contribute to the festival in my own way.”

Sayori: “Natsuki, you’re amazing. I can’t believe you made all those cupcakes. They look delicious!”

(Natsuki blushes and rubs her belly lovingly.)

Natsuki: “Well, I couldn’t resist making cupcakes for everyone. Plus, I wanted to share the joy of literature with little Sakura too.”

MC: “Sakura? Is that what you’re naming the baby?”

Natsuki: “Yeah! We decided on Sakura. It’s a pretty name, don’t you think?”

Monika: “It’s a beautiful name, Natsuki. And I’m sure Sakura is going to grow up surrounded by literature and love, thanks to all of us.”

Sayori: “I can’t wait to meet Sakura. She’s going to be the luckiest baby, having such an amazing mom and being a part of our literature club family.”

Natsuki: “Aww, you guys are making me emotional. Thank you for all the support. It means the world to me. And even though her father won’t be in the picture, I still know Sakura will have a loving and supportive family here in the literature club.”

Monika: “Of course, Natsuki. We’re always here for you, no matter what. We’re like a family in this club, and we’ll continue to support you and Sakura every step of the way.”

MC: “Absolutely. You’re part of our family now, and we’ll make sure Sakura grows up knowing she’s loved and cherished by all of us.”

Sayori: “And don’t worry, Natsuki. We’ll take care of you too, especially during your pregnancy. We’ll make sure you’re as comfortable as possible and help with anything you need.”

Natsuki: “Thank you guys, really. I’m lucky to have such great friends in this club. I don’t know what I would’ve done without all of you.”

Monika: “We feel the same way, Natsuki. We’re all here for each other, through the highs and the lows. And I know that together, we can make this festival and every day in the club special for you and Sakura.”

MC: “Exactly. We’re all in this together, Natsuki. We’ll celebrate literature, but we’ll also celebrate the joy of being a part of this club and supporting each other.”

Natsuki: (looking down at her baby bump after feeling a kick) “Oh! Hello there, Sakura!”
