(In the clubroom…)

Monika: “Wait a minute…where’s Yuri?”

Sayori: “I honestly haven’t seen her in a while. I honestly miss rubbing her belly and feeling Violet’s little kicks.”

Natsuki: “Me too. I’ll give her a call.”

(Natsuki pulls out her phone and dials Yuri’s number.)

Natsuki: (waiting for a response) “Huh…it’s going straight to voicemail. That’s strange.”

Monika: “Maybe she’s just busy or her phone’s off. But usually, she lets us know if she’s going to be late or if something’s come up.”

Sayori: (concerned) “Yeah, Yuri is usually very punctual and reliable. I hope everything is alright.”

Natsuki: (trying again) “Let me try again. Maybe she missed the call.”

(Natsuki dials Yuri’s number once more, but it still goes to voicemail.)

Natsuki: “Okay, this is getting weird. Yuri NEVER ignores our calls.”

Monika: “Maybe we should go check her house. I know it’s a bit intrusive, but if she’s not answering and we’re getting worried, it might be worth it.”

Sayori: “I agree. We need to make sure she’s okay. Let’s go together.”

(The three girls head out of the clubroom and make their way to Yuri’s house.)

(At Yuri’s house…)

Monika: (knocking on the door) “Yuri? It’s Monika, Sayori, and Natsuki. Are you home?”

(They wait for a moment, but there’s no response.)

Natsuki: (concerned) “What if something happened? Should we try opening the door?”

Monika: “Let’s give it a try. If she’s in trouble or something’s wrong, it’ll be better to find out now.”

(Sayori tries the doorknob, and to their surprise, it opens.)

Sayori: (worried) “Yuri? Are you here?”

(They cautiously enter Yuri’s house, calling out her name as they explore each room. Finally, they reach Yuri’s bedroom. They see Yuri clutching her baby bump with pain etched on her face, a clear sign she was having contractions - thankfully her water hasn’t broken yet.)

Natsuki: (noticing the pain on Yuri’s face) “Oh my god, Yuri!”

Monika: “Yuri, are you okay? Why didn’t you answer our calls? We were worried sick!”

Sayori: “Is the baby coming? We need to get you to the hospital!”

Yuri: (struggling to speak through the pain) “I…I didn’t…want to bother anyone. It…felt too early. But…the contractions…they started and…I couldn’t ignore them…”

Natsuki: “Yuri, you should have called us immediately! We’re here for you, no matter what. Let’s get you to the hospital right away.”

(The three girls help Yuri up and support her as they make their way out of the house and towards the car.)

Yuri: “They’re getting stronger…!”

Monika: “Hang in there, Yuri. We’ll get you to the hospital as fast as we can.”

Sayori: “Don’t worry, Yuri. Everything will be okay. Just focus on your breathing and stay strong.”

Natsuki: “Hold on tight, Yuri. We’ll make sure you and the baby are safe.”

(They quickly get Yuri into the car and Natsuki starts driving towards the hospital.)

Monika: “Yuri, try to relax as much as you can. We’re here with you every step of the way.”

Sayori: “Just remember, Yuri, you’re not alone. We’ll be right by your side, supporting you through this.”

(Suddenly, Yuri lets out an agonizing scream as her water breaks - signaling the start of her labor.)

Yuri: (about to give birth) “OH GOSH, IT’S HAPPENING!! VIOLET’S COMING!!”

Natsuki: “Hold on, Yuri! We’re almost at the hospital! Just try to hold Violet in a little bit longer, okay?”

Yuri: (starting to push) “I can’t…I can’t hold her in any longer! She’s coming!”

Monika: “Natsuki, drive faster! We need to get Yuri to the hospital right away!”

Natsuki: “I’m trying, I’m trying! Hold on, Yuri! We’ll be there soon!”

(As Yuri continues to push, Natsuki quickly drives to the hospital. All of a sudden, Yuri lets out a gut-wrenching scream as she starts to give birth on the spot.)

Natsuki: (panicking) “Oh my god, she’s giving birth in the car! We need to do something!”
