(In the clubroom…)

Monika: “Hang on…where’s Yuri?”

Sayori: “I’m not sure. I thought she would be here by now. Maybe she got caught up in something?”

Natsuki: “She’s probably just…you know, doing her own thing. She’s always been a bit mysterious like that.”

Monika: “Hmm, you’re right. But I’m still a little worried. Maybe I should call her just to make sure everything’s okay.”

Sayori: “That’s a good idea, Monika. I’ll help you find her contact information.”

(As Monika and Sayori search for Yuri’s number, they find it written on a piece of paper in her assigned desk.)

Sayori: “Found it! Here’s her number.”

Monika: “Thanks, Sayori. I’ll give her a call right now.”

(Monika dials Yuri’s number and it rings a few times before going to voicemail.)

Monika: “Hmm, no answer. I’ll leave her a message and see if she gets back to us.”

(Monika leaves a quick message asking Yuri to call her back and hangs up the phone.)

Natsuki: “Well, I guess all we can do now is wait. She’ll probably show up later.”

Sayori: “Yeah, I’m sure she’s just caught up in something. She’ll come back when she’s ready.”

(Meanwhile, at Yuri’s house…)

Yuri: (to herself) “Stay calm, Yuri…stay calm…just focus on meeting little Violet…breathe through the contractions for now.”

(Yuri, with a determined expression on her face, takes deep breaths as she goes through the pain of her contractions.)

Yuri: “Aah!! Are…are they getting stronger?!”

(Yuri’s phone rings in the other room, but she’s unable to answer it due to the intensity of her contractions.)

Yuri: “I…can’t…get…to…it…right now…”

(She tries to focus on her breathing and managing the pain as best as she can.)

Yuri: “Just a few…more…moments…I can do this…for Violet…”

(Suddenly, another contraction hits Yuri, causing her to double over in pain.)

Yuri: “AAAHH!!! It’s…it’s coming…I need to…push…!”

(Yuri limps over to her bathroom before getting into the tub, filling it with warm water, and starting to push. She grips the sides of the tub tightly, feeling the intense pressure build with each push.)

(Back at the clubroom, Monika looks at her phone and sees that Yuri still hasn’t returned her call.)

Monika: “I’m starting to get really worried, guys. It’s not like Yuri to not answer her phone, especially when we’re supposed to have club today.”

Natsuki: “Maybe she’s just sick or something. You know how she can get when she’s not feeling well.”

Sayori: “But still, she would usually let one of us know if she’s not coming. I hope she’s okay.”

Monika: “I think we should go check on her. This doesn’t feel right.”

Natsuki: “Well, I guess it wouldn’t hurt to make sure she’s alright. Let’s go, I’ll drive.”

(The three of them quickly gather their things and head to Yuri’s house. They knock on the door, but there’s no answer.)

Monika: “Hello? Yuri? Are you in there?”

Natsuki: “Maybe she’s not home, after all.”

Sayori: “Wait, I hear something from the backyard. Let’s go check it out.”

(They walk around to the backyard and find Yuri in the tub, still in the midst of labor.)

Monika: “Oh my gosh, Yuri! Are you okay? Why didn’t you answer your phone?”

Yuri: (between contractions) “I…couldn’t…I’m…in labor.”

Sayori: “Oh my goodness, Yuri…Why didn’t you tell us? We could have helped you!”

Yuri: “I…I didn’t want to worry you…I thought I could handle it myself…”

Natsuki: “Well, you shouldn’t have to handle it alone. We’re here for you, Yuri.”

(All of a sudden, Yuri lets out a loud scream and clenches her fists tightly as another contraction hits her.)

Yuri: “IT’S HAPPENING!!! VIOLET
