(In the clubroom…)

Natsuki: (already fuming, despite the intense pain in her lower abdomen) “GAH! Yuri still hasn’t arrived yet?! Where is she?!”

Monika: “Calm down, Natsuki. Your anger won’t help a thing.”

Natsuki: (finally calming down) “Fine…I guess I freaked out a little too much. But…this pain is no joke. And I’m only 7 months along in my pregnancy.”

Sayori: (entering the clubroom) “What’s going on?”

Monika: “Natsuki is worried because Yuri hasn’t arrived yet, and she’s also experiencing some intense pain.”

Sayori: “Oh no, Natsuki! Are you okay? Should we call a doctor?”

Natsuki: (holding her belly) “I think I’ll be fine, but Yuri should have been here by now. I hope nothing happened to her.”

Monika: “Don’t worry, Natsuki. Let’s give her a call and check if everything is alright.”

(Sayori takes out her phone and dials Yuri’s number, anxiously waiting for her to pick up.)

Yuri: (over the phone, sounding breathless) “Hello?”

Sayori: “Yuri, where are you? Natsuki is worried, and we’re all waiting for you in the clubroom.”

Yuri: (apologetic) “I am so sorry, guys. I got caught up at the library and lost track of time. I’m on my way now.”

Sayori: “Okay, just make sure to get here safely. Natsuki isn’t feeling well either.”

(Yuri hurriedly hangs up and rushes to the clubroom.)

Natsuki: (relieved) “Finally! What took you so long?”

Yuri: (catching her breath) “I’m really sorry, Natsuki. I didn’t mean to worry you. I lost track of time while researching for a project.”

Monika: “It’s alright, Yuri. Just make sure to inform us if something like this happens again, especially when Natsuki is not feeling well.”

Natsuki: (softening her tone) “Yeah, Yuri. I know you didn’t mean to be late. Just please be more careful next time-” (her pain starts getting more intense) “OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!”

Sayori: “Natsuki, are you okay? That pain sounds really serious.”

Natsuki: (clenching her teeth, tears welling up in her eyes) “I…I don’t know…it feels worse than b-”

Monika: (interrupting) “Uh, Natsuki…? What’s that forming between your legs?”

Natsuki: (panicking) “W-What? What do you mean?!”

Sayori: “Natsuki…you might want to check.”

(Natsuki quickly checks her legs. After checking, however, her eyes widen in shock.)

Natsuki: (in disbelief) “No…it can’t be…”

Monika: (concerned) “Natsuki, what is it?”

Natsuki: (teary-eyed) “I…I think my water just broke.”

Sayori: (gasping) “Oh no! Natsuki, we need to get you to a hospital right away!”

Yuri: (nervously) “I-I can call an ambulance! Natsuki, don’t worry, everything will be okay.”

Natsuki: (trying to stay calm) “Y-Yes, call an ambulance…and someone please help me up.”

Monika: (rushing to Natsuki’s side) “I’ll help you, Natsuki. Just hold on, help is on the way.”

As Monika and Yuri help Natsuki stand up, Sayori quickly makes the call for an ambulance. The three girls wait anxiously, trying to keep Natsuki comfortable and reassured as they wait for medical help to arrive.

(Time passes…)

EMS Worker: (entering the clubroom) “We’re here for Natsuki?”

Natsuki: (gritting her teeth) “Yes, that’s me. Please, we need to go to the hospital. My baby…it’s coming-” (she suddenly starts pushing) “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!! Nevermind, I don’t think we have time for a hospital!”
