(In the school literature clubroom…)

Monika: “Alright, now we just need MC. And Yuri, I seriously hope your water doesn’t break during the meeting - we don’t want an early deliver now, wouldn’t we?”

Yuri: (chuckles) “No worries, Monika. I’m sure I’ll be fine for the meeting. But just in case, I packed some extra towels in my bag.”

Sayori: “Oh, I’m sure MC will be here soon! He’s probably just running a little late.”

Natsuki: (grumbling) “He better hurry up. I brought some special cupcakes today and I don’t want them to go to waste.”

(Just then, the door opens and MC walks in, slightly out of breath.)

MC: “Sorry I’m late, guys. The traffic was terrible.”

Monika: “Don’t worry about it, MC. Let’s get started on our discussion for today. But first, Natsuki, you need to share those cupcakes with us.”

Natsuki: (brightening up) “Oh, finally! I’ve been waiting for this moment. Here, I made these chocolate cupcakes with raspberry filling. I hope you all enjoy them.”

MC: (taking a bite) “Wow, these are amazing, Natsuki! Thank you for sharing them with us.”

Sayori: “I agree, these are delicious! I think this might be my new favorite cupcake.”

Yuri: “I must say, the combination of chocolate and raspberry is truly exquisite. Thank you for sharing your baking skills with us, Natsuki.”

Monika: “Alright, now that we’ve all indulged in some delicious treats, let’s focus on our discussion for today. I think we should start by analyzing the themes of the novel we’ve been reading.”

(The literature club members dive into a deep discussion about the novel, sharing their thoughts and insights with each other. As the meeting comes to an end, they all feel a sense of camaraderjson and connection, knowing that they can rely on each other for support and friendship.)

Monika: “Another productive meeting, everyone. I’m so grateful for each of you and the contributions you bring to our club. Let’s continue to support each other and grow together as a group.”

(The literature club members nod in agreement, feeling grateful for the bond they share and the love of literature that brought them together.)

{THE NEXT DAY, DURING THE FESTIVAL}

(The literature club members are busy setting up their booth at the school festival, showcasing their favorite books and discussing their love for literature with other students.)

MC: “Wow, our booth looks amazing, guys! I think we’ll have a lot of interest from the other students.”

Natsuki: “I can’t wait to see people’s reactions to our favorite books. I hope we can inspire more students to join our club.”

Yuri: “I’m excited to share my favorite poetry with everyone. This festival is a great opportunity to spread our love for literature.”

Sayori: “I think this festival is going to be a great success for us. I’m so proud of all the hard work we put into preparing for this day.”

Monika: “I couldn’t have asked for a better group of friends to share this experience with. Let’s make the most of this festival and spread our love for literature to everyone we meet.”

(The literature club members spend the day talking to other students, sharing their favorite books and poems, and spreading their passion for literature. But towards the end of the festival, Yuri suddenly lets out a gasp of pain and clutches her stomach.)

Yuri: “Oh no, it’s happening…”

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

Yuri: “My water just broke…”

MC: “Oh my goodness, this is not happening right now…”

Yuri: “This shouldn’t be happening…not at the festival…”

Monika: “Okay, okay, let’s not panic. I just called the ambulance - so we need to focus on keeping Yuri
