(In the clubroom…)

Monika: “MC, I had the weirdest dream last night…”

MC: “Oh really? What was it about?”

Monika: “Well, I dreamt that the clubroom was filled with talking cats. They were all wearing bowties and giving poetry recitals. It was so bizarre!”

MC: “Wow, that does sound strange. What were they reciting?”

Monika: “I couldn’t really understand all of it, but it seemed like they were reciting love poems. It was quite delightful in a peculiar way. I wish I could remember the verses, they were enchanting.”

Sayori: (bursts into the clubroom) “Monika, are you talking about talking cats?! I had the same dream too!”

Monika: “No way! You dreamt about talking cats reciting poetry as well?”

Sayori: “Yes, it was like a feline poetry slam right here in the clubroom, but the cats were all wearing tiny top hats.”

MC: “This is getting weirder by the second. Are you sure we didn’t accidentally go to some magical cat world in our dreams?”

Natsuki: (enters the clubroom) “What’s all this commotion about talking cats? You guys are being weird.”

Monika: “Natsuki, did you have any weird dreams lately?”

Natsuki: “Dreams? Ugh, I don’t remember my dreams. They’re not even worth talking about.”

Yuri: (quietly enters the clubroom) “Actually, I had a similar dream as well. The cats were reciting dark and mysterious poems. It was an eerie atmosphere but strangely captivating.”

MC: “So it seems like we all had similar dreams with these poetic cats. Is there some kind of hidden meaning behind it?”

Monika: “Who knows? Dreams can be unpredictable, but it’s fascinating how all of us experienced the same thing, even if it was bizarre.”

Sayori: “I think it would be fun to write our own cat-themed poems based on our dreams. We can have a special cat poetry event!”

Natsuki: “Are you serious? Cat-themed poems? Ugh, that sounds silly-” (feels a strong pain, but not from her unborn baby girl Sakura) “AAH!!! Ow…my belly hurts really bad…this can’t be happening now…I’m only in my 7th month…”

MC: “Natsuki, are you okay? What’s wrong? Should we call an ambulance?”

Natsuki: “No, it’s… it’s probably just a cramp. I’ll be fine… just give me a moment.”

Monika: “Natsuki, you shouldn’t ignore something like this. We need to make sure both you and the baby are safe. Let’s call for help.”

(MC quickly dials for an ambulance while the others try to comfort Natsuki)

Yuri: “Natsuki, try to stay calm. Help is on the way.”

Sayori: “Everything will be alright, Natsuki. Just breathe and try to relax.”

(Moments later, the ambulance arrives and Natsuki is taken to the hospital)

MC: “I’ll go with you, Natsuki. Don’t worry, we’ll figure this out.”

Monika: “Please keep us updated. We’ll be here for you.”

(Meanwhile, in the hospital…)

Doctor: “Natsuki, you’re experiencing preterm contractions. We need to do everything we can to stop them and prevent premature birth. We’ll monitor you closely and provide the necessary treatments.”

Natsuki: “Please… please do whatever it takes to keep my baby safe.”

MC: “We’re here for you, Natsuki. You’re not alone in this.”

(Back at the clubroom…)

Sayori: “I can’t believe Natsuki went through that. I hope she and the baby will be alright.”

Yuri: “It was a frightening situation, but let’s stay positive. The doctors will do everything they can.”

Monika: “Yes, we should focus on supporting Natsuki during this time. Writing our cat poems can wait.”

MC: “Absolutely. Natsuki and the baby’s health is the priority. Let’s keep sending her positive thoughts and be there for her when she needs us.”

(Back at the hospital…)

Natsuki: “Doctor, how are the contractions looking? Have they stopped? I don’t want to go into labor…”

Doctor: “Natsuki, we’re sorry to say this, but we need to preform an emergency C-section. The contractions have not subsided, and it’s the best option for both you and the baby. We’ll do everything we can to ensure a safe delivery.”

Natsuki: “Oh no…I didn’t want it to come to this. But if it’s what’s best for the baby…then I trust you, doctor- …oh…oh gosh…”

MC: “Natsuki, it’s going to be okay. We’re here with you every step of the way. Just focus on staying calm and know that we’re all sending positive thoughts your way. The doctors will take good care of you and the baby. We’re here to support you through this, no matter what happens.”

Natsuki: “I-I-I-It’s not that, MC…”

MC: “What is it, Natsuki? What’s wrong?”

Natsuki: “I…I think my water just broke…I-I-I’m in active labor!!!”
