(In the school literature clubroom…)

Natsuki: “MC, Sayori, Yuri, have you seen Monika anywhere?”

MC: “No, I haven’t seen her. Have you checked her usual spots?”

Sayori: “I was just going to ask the same thing. Maybe she’s in the library?”

Yuri: “I’ll go and check there. Monika often spends her free time there.”

MC: “Thanks, Yuri. Let us know if you find her.”

Natsuki: “I hope she’s okay. She seemed a bit off during the club meeting earlier.”

Sayori: “Yeah, I noticed that too. I’ll ask around and see if anyone has seen her. Maybe someone knows where she is.”

(Meanwhile, Yuri goes to the library and starts looking for Monika.)

Yuri: “Monika? Are you here?”

(Monika’s pained voice comes from behind a bookshelf.)

Monika: “Yuri…help me…”

(Yuri’s heart skips a beat as she hurries towards the sound of Monika’s voice. She gently pushes aside some books, revealing Monika huddled against the wall, heavily pregnant - and in her 7th month.)

Yuri: “Monika, what happened?!”

Monika: (teary-eyed, and clearly in pain) “Yuri…t-t-t-the baby…she’s c-coming…”

(Yuri’s eyes widen in shock as she rushes to Monika’s side.)

Yuri: “Oh my goodness, Monika! We need to get you to a hospital right away!”

Monika: “I-I-I don’t think I can make it…the contractions are too frequent…”

Yuri: “Don’t worry, Monika. Let’s get you back to the clubroom, first.”

(Yuri carefully helps Monika up and supports her as they make their way back to the clubroom. The other members are waiting anxiously.)

MC: “Yuri, what’s going on?”

Yuri: “Monika’s in labor! Her contractions are too frequent for the hospital, so there’s a possibility that we’ll have to deliver the baby here.”

Natsuki: “What? How is that even possible? We need to call an ambulance immediately!”

Sayori: “Y-Yeah, we can’t handle this by ourselves. We need professionals!”

Yuri: “I understand your concerns, but the contractions are already quite close together. We may not have enough time to wait for an ambulance. We have to do everything we can to help Monika right now.”

MC: “Yuri’s right. We have to support her and make sure she and the baby are safe. We can do this together.”

Sayori: “But… but we don’t have any medical experience. What if something goes wrong?”

Yuri: “We’ll do our best to handle the situation. We can follow the directions from emergency services and do everything we can to ensure a safe delivery.”

Natsuki: “I… I don’t know if I can handle this. It’s so intense.”

MC: “Natsuki, I know it’s overwhelming, but we need you. We need all of us to be there for Monika and the baby.”

(Natsuki takes a deep breath and nods, determination in her eyes.)

Natsuki: “Okay, I’ll do whatever I can to help.”

Yuri: “Thank you, Natsuki. Let’s prepare the clubroom for the delivery. We’ll need clean towels, warm water, and anything else we can find that might be helpful.”

(Sayori and MC start gathering supplies while Yuri stays with Monika, trying to keep her calm and comfortable.)

Monika: “I’m scared, Yuri. What if something goes wrong?”

Yuri: “I understand your fear, Monika, but we’re all here for you. We won’t let anything happen to you or the baby.”

(Meanwhile, the other members bring back the supplies and start to set up a makeshift delivery area in the clubroom when Monika suddenly lets out a scream of pain, clutching her stomach tightly.)

Yuri: “Monika, are you alright?! What’s happening?!”

Monika: (gasping) “I think…I think my water just broke! The baby is coming!”

Natsuki: “But Monika, the makeshift delivery area isn’t ready yet! We need more time!”

Monika: “There’s no time to wait! She’s coming, whether we’re ready or not!”
