(In the clubroom…)

Monika: “Wait a minute…where’s Yuri?”

Sayori: “She should’ve been here by now. Natsuki, can you give her a call?”

Natsuki: (straining) “I would if I wasn’t giving birth to Sakura right now! Gosh, this hurts so much…”

Monika: (pale-faced) “N-Natsuki?! You’re giving birth right now?!”

Sayori: (frantically) “Oh my gosh, Natsuki, we need to get you some help! How did we not notice?!”

Natsuki: (gritting her teeth) “I…I didn’t think it’d come so suddenly…just give me a moment, I’ll…I’ll try to call Yuri.”

Monika: “No, Natsuki! We need to get you to the hospital! Giving birth in the clubroom is n-”

Natsuki: “There isn’t time! I can feel her coming!!”

Sayori: (panicked) “What do we do, Monika? We can’t just sit here!”

Monika: (thinking quickly) “Okay, okay, Natsuki, try to stay calm. We’ll do our best to help you. Sayori, go find some clean towels or anything we can use to make a makeshift birthing area. I’ll call an ambulance right away.”

Sayori: (nodding) “Got it, Monika! I’ll be right back!”

Natsuki: (taking deep breaths) “Hurry, Sayori… I can’t hold on much longer…”

(Monika quickly dials the emergency number, explaining the situation to the operator while trying to remain composed.)

Monika: “Hello, this is Monika from the Literature Club. One of our members, Natsuki, is currently giving birth and we need an ambulance immediately. We don’t have much time. Please, we need help!”

Operator: “I understand, Monika. I’m sending an ambulance to your location right away. Stay on the line with me and I’ll guide you through the process until help arrives. Can you check on Natsuki’s condition and let me know any important details?”

Monika: “Yes, of course. Natsuki, can you give me any information on how you’re feeling? Are there any complications or concerns?”

Natsuki: “I-I’m in a lot of pain, but I don’t think there are any complications. It’s just happening so fast, I can’t believe it…”

Operator: “Alright, it’s important for Natsuki to stay as comfortable as possible. If there are any towels or blankets available, try to keep her warm. Keep reassuring her and remind her to breathe deeply. Remind her to push gently when necessary and not to strain too much.”

Monika: “Got it. Natsuki, I’m going to make sure you’re as comfortable as possible. Just focus on your breathing and know that we’re here for you.”

Natsuki: (weakening) “Th-Thank you, Monika. I’m scared, but knowing you’re here… it helps.”

Operator: “Help is on the way, Natsuki. Just a little longer. Monika, is there anyone else in the clubroom who can assist you?”

Monika: “Sayori went to find some towels, but she should be back soon. It’s just the two of us for now. Is there anything else we should be doing?”

Operator: “You’re doing great so far. Just keep monitoring Natsuki’s condition and provide any assistance you can. Once help arrives, they’ll take over.”

(Moments later, Sayori rushes back into the clubroom, holding some towels.)

Sayori: “I found some towels, Monika! Are they helpful?”

Monika: (relieved) “Yes, they’re perfect, Sayori. Thank you. Natsuki, Sayori’s back with some towels. We’re here to support you.”

Natsuki: (teary-eyed) “Thank you, both of you. I don’t know what I would’ve done without you.”

Operator: “I’m glad to see everyone supporting each other. The ambulance is nearby, they should be arriving shortly. Stay on the line with me until they’re there.”

Sayori: “Natsuki, can you see the head yet?”

Natsuki: (struggling) “I…I can. It’s pushing against me…oh god, it hurts!”
