(In the school literature clubroom…)

Monika: “Alright, that concludes today’s meeting. Natsuki, Yuri, MC, Sayori, you all had some amazing poems!”

Natsuki: “Thanks, Monika! I’m glad you liked it. I’ve been working on trying to make my poems more expressive, so I’m really happy with how it turned out.”

Yuri: “Indeed. Your poem was beautifully written, Natsuki. The emotions behind it were captivating, and I found myself drawn in by each line.”

Sayori: “Ahhh, Natsuki, your poem was so cute! I could practically envision the adorable scene you described. It made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.”

MC: “Yeah, Natsuki, your poem was really well done. It had a playful tone but also conveyed a deeper message. I enjoyed reading it.”

Monika: “And Yuri, your poem was absolutely captivating. Your use of imagery and metaphors was extraordinary. It was like being transported to another world while reading it.”

(Just then, Natsuki notices a student standing at the doorway, listening in on their conversation.)

Natsuki: “Hey, who’s that? Do you guys recognize her?”

Yuri: “Hmm, I don’t think I’ve seen her around before. She must be new to the school.”

Sayori: “Maybe she’s interested in joining the literature club too! We should go talk to her and invite her in.”

MC: “Yeah, that’s a good idea. Let’s go say hi and see if she wants to join us.”

(The group walks over to the student, who appears a bit shy.)

Monika: “Hi there! We noticed you listening in on our conversation. Are you interested in the literature club?”

Student: “Um, yes. I actually overheard you all talking about poems, and it sounded really interesting. I enjoy writing as well. I’m Haruka.”

Natsuki: “Nice to meet you, Haruka! I’m Natsuki, and these are my clubmates - Yuri, Sayori, MC, and Monika. We’d love to have you join us!”

Yuri: “Yes, we’re always excited to welcome new members. Writing and sharing poetry is one of the main activities we do here, so you’ll fit right in.”

Sayori: “And don’t worry if you’re not confident in your writing yet. We’re all here to learn and improve together! It’s a really supportive and fun club.”

MC: “Absolutely! We have regular meetings where we share our poems, give feedback, and discuss different writing techniques. It’s a great way to get inspiration and grow as a writer.”

Monika: “Haruka, we also organize events like poetry readings and writing workshops. It’s a chance for us to showcase our work and connect with other clubs in the school. You’re welcome to participate in those too if you’d like.”

Haruka: “That sounds amazing! I’ve been looking for a creative outlet, and this seems like the perfect place. I’d love to join.”

Natsuki: “Yay! We’re glad to have you, Haruka. We’ll make sure to catch you up on everything and introduce you to the club’s activities.”

Yuri: “Welcome aboard, Haruka. I’m really looking forward to reading your poems and getting to know you better.”

Sayori: “Yes, welcome! You’ll quickly become part of our little literature family. We always have so much fun together.”

MC: “Welcome to the club, Haruka. I hope you find joy and inspiration here, just like the rest of us.”

Monika: “Great! We’re excited to have you, Haruka. Get ready for a wonderful journey into the world of literature and poetry with us.”

(All together, they head back to the clubroom, eager to continue their literary endeavors with their newest member, Haruka. However, after entering the clubroom, Monika notices that Haruka looks like she’s in her 5th month of pregnancy.)

Monika: “Um, Haruka, is everything alright? You seem…a little uncomfortable.”

Haruka: “Oh, um, yes, I’m fine. It’s just…I wanted to mention that I’m expecting a child. It’s a girl.”

Monika: “Oh! Congratulations, Haruka! That’s wonderful news. We’re so happy for you.”

Natsuki: “Yeah, that’s amazing! You’re going to be a mom. I’m sure your daughter will be lucky to have you. What’s her name, by the way?”
