(In the school literature club…)

Monika: “Okay, that concludes today’s meeting. You all had some amazing poems, especially you, MC.” (noticing Sayori looking uncomfortable) “Are you okay, Sayori? With that baby bump, you look like you’re ready to pop…”

Sayori: (blushing and rubbing her belly) “Oh, uh… Yeah, I’m fine, Monika. Just feeling a little tired, that’s all.”

Natsuki: (leaning in, teasingly) “You know, Sayori, maybe it’s time you pass on your title of ‘Most Energetic’ to the little one.”

Sayori: (laughs nervously) “Yeah, maybe! I guess being a future mom comes with its own set of challenges.”

Yuri: (smiling) “Sayori, have you considered writing a poem about the anticipation and joy of becoming a parent? I’m sure it would be wonderful.”

Sayori: (brightening up) “That’s a great idea, Yuri! I haven’t thought about it before, but it could be a beautiful way to express my feelings.”

MC: (supportively) “I think that’s a fantastic idea, Sayori! Your poems always capture emotions so well, and I’m sure this one would be no different.”

Monika: (encouragingly) “Absolutely, Sayori. We’ll be excited to read your poem whenever you’re ready to share it with us.”

Sayori: (grateful) “Thank you, everyone. It means a lot to have your support. I’ll definitely work on it and share it with you soon.”

Monika: “Great! Let’s all look forward to reading Sayori’s poem. Remember, the literature club is a place for us to support and inspire each other in our writing. Keep up the great work, everyone! See you all next time.”

(The members of the literature club exchange smiles and nods before packing up their things and heading out of the classroom. Sayori, MC, Natsuki, and Yuri walk together, engaging in light-hearted banter as they make their way to the school gates.)

Sayori: (grinning) “Thanks again, guys. I really appreciate your encouragement and positivity. It means a lot to me.”

MC: “Of course, Sayori. We’re here for you, no matter what. Writing about your experiences as a future mom will be a wonderful and unique opportunity for you.”

Natsuki: “Yeah, and you can bet I’ll be the first to read it. You better not keep us waiting for too long!”

Yuri: (gently) “Take your time, Sayori. Creating something personal like this requires patience and reflection. We’ll be here whenever you’re ready to share it.”

Sayori: (grateful) “Thank you, Yuri. And thanks again to all of you. Your support really means the world to me.”

As they reach the school gates, the friends bid each other farewell, promising to meet up again soon for the next literature club meeting. Sayori walks home, her spirits lifted by the warmth and encouragement she received from her friends.

(At home, Sayori settles down at her desk, pulling out her notebook and pen. She takes a deep breath and starts writing, pouring her thoughts and emotions onto the page.)

Sayori: (whispering to herself) “Here we go… My journey as a future mom. Time to put it into w-”

(A sharp pain suddenly cuts through Sayori’s abdomen, causing her to gasp in pain and double over.)

Sayori: (frantically) “Oh no…not now, Sachiko!”

(Surprised and concerned, Sayori grabs her phone and dials her doctor’s number.)

Doctor: (over the phone) “Hello, Sayori. Is everything okay?”

Sayori: (struggling to speak through the pain) “N-No, Doctor. The pain…it’s intense. Sachiko…she’s coming…”

Doctor: “I understand, Sayori. Stay calm. I want you to focus on your breathing. I’m sending an ambulance to your location right away. Just hold on.”

Sayori: (breathing heavily) “O-Okay…please hurry.”

(Sayori tries to endure the pain as long as she can, but the labor seems to be progressing rapidly.)
