(In the clubroom…)

Monika: “I hope Natsuki gets back with our snacks…”

Sayori: “I hope so, too.”

Yuri: “Oh! Jeez…what a kick!” (rubbing her baby bump) “Violet, please don’t kick Mommy so hard.”

(Natsuki walks into the clubroom, holding a tray of freshly baked cupcakes and a bag of snacks.)

Natsuki: “Sorry for the wait, everyone! It took longer than I expected to bake these.”

Monika: “No problem, Natsuki! We appreciate your effort.”

Sayori: “They look so delicious, Natsuki! Can’t wait to try them.”

Yuri: “Thank you, Natsuki. I’m sure they taste as amazing as they look.”

(Natsuki blushes, a hint of a smile forming on her face.)

Natsuki: “Well, you better enjoy them. It’s not every day I go through this much trouble for you guys.”

Monika: “We appreciate it, Natsuki. Your baking skills are always worth the wait.”

Sayori: “Yeah, we’re lucky to have you in the club, Natsuki.”

Yuri: “Indeed, Natsuki. Your dedication and talent never cease to amaze me.” (putting a hand on her baby bump) “Oh!”

Natsuki: “Yuri, are you okay?”

Yuri: “Yes, I just felt another kick. I guess Violet is excited for these cupcakes too!”

Natsuki: “Wait a minute…Violet? Who’s that?”
Monika: “Oh, didn’t Yuri mention it? Violet is the name she decided to give her baby. Isn’t it cute?”

Natsuki: “Oh, that’s really sweet. Violet… I like it.”

Sayori: “It’s such a beautiful name, just like your cupcakes, Natsuki.”

Yuri: “Thank you, Sayori. That means a lot coming from you.”

Natsuki: “Well, enough talk. Let’s dig in and enjoy these cupcakes!”

(The girls sit around the table, savoring Natsuki’s delicious treats.)

Monika: “Mmm, these are amazing, Natsuki. The flavors are just perfect.”

Sayori: “I agree! They’re so moist and the icing is so creamy.”

Yuri: “I can’t get enough of the rich chocolate flavor. It’s heavenly.”

Natsuki: “I’m glad you all like them. It makes the effort worth it.”

(As they enjoy their snacks, the club members continue chatting and laughing, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere in the clubroom.)

Natsuki: “Hey, guys… I’m really glad to be a part of this club. You all mean a lot to me.”

Monika: “We’re glad to have you here, Natsuki. The Literature Club wouldn’t be the same without you.”

Sayori: “Yeah, you bring so much joy and deliciousness into our lives.”

Yuri: “And your presence always makes this place feel like a second home.” (feeling a strong wave of pain wash over her) “Aah!!”

Natsuki: “Yuri, are you okay? What’s wrong?”

Yuri: “I think…I think it might be time! I’m having contractions!”

Monika: “Oh my goodness! Yuri, it’s time for you to go to the hospital!”

Sayori: “We should call an ambulance!”

Natsuki: “Don’t worry, Yuri. I’ll help you get to the hospital. Just hold on, we’ll take care of everything.”

(Yuri, with a mix of excitement and nervousness, grabs onto Natsuki’s arm, and they quickly make their way out of the clubroom.)

Yuri: (gritting her teeth) “They’re getting stronger, Natsuki!”

Natsuki: “Hang in there, Yuri! We’ll get you to the hospital as fast as we can!”

(Outside the clubroom, Monika and Sayori quickly call for an ambulance while Natsuki supports Yuri through the contractions.)

Monika: “The ambulance is on its way, Yuri! Just hold on a little longer!”

Sayori: “You’re doing great, Yuri! Just breathe through the contractions, okay?”

Yuri: (nodding, focused) “I-I’m trying…just keep going, Natsuki-” (starting to push) “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!”

Monika: “Yuri, don’t push yet! Hold on a little longer!”

Yuri: “I-I can’t…hold on…any longer!! Violet is coming!”
