(In the school literature clubroom…)

Monika: “Morning, Sayori! Ready for today’s club meeting?”

Sayori: “Good morning, Monika! Oh, you bet I am! I can’t wait to share my new poem with everyone.”

Monika: “That’s great to hear, Sayori! I’m sure everyone will enjoy hearing your poem. Sharing our work is one of the best parts of our literature club.”

(Sayori beams with excitement.)

Sayori: “Yeah, it’s always so nice to see everyone’s different writing styles and ideas. It’s like a creative buffet!”

Monika: “Haha, I like that analogy!”

(Just then, the door opens and Natsuki - very heavily pregnant - walks in, holding a stack of papers.)

Natsuki: “Ugh, finally! I finished printing out the flyers for the upcoming school festival. Can’t believe it took me so long.”

Monika: “Good morning, Natsuki! Wow, you’ve been busy. Thank you for taking care of the flyers. It’s an important event, and I’m glad we have you on top of things.”

Natsuki: “Yeah, well, someone has to do the work around here. Besides, it’s not like I have much else to do with this big belly of mine.”

Sayori: “Aw, Natsuki, your baby bump is adorable! I can’t wait to meet your little one.”

Natsuki: “Thanks, Sayori. I’m excited too, but also a little nervous. Motherhood is a big responsibility, you know?”

Sayori: “I’m sure you’ll be an amazing mom, Natsuki! You already have so much love to give.”

Natsuki: “Heh, thanks. It’s nice to hear that.”

(Monika walks over to Natsuki and places a reassuring hand on her shoulder.)

Monika: “Natsuki, don’t worry. We’re all here to support you. We understand that being a mom will be a big adjustment, and we’ll always be here for you, whether it’s with the club or anything else.”

Natsuki: “Thanks, Monika. That means a lot to me.”

(Suddenly, Yuri enters the room, holding a book in her hands.)

Yuri: “Good morning, everyone. Sorry I’m late, I got caught up in a fascinating book.”

Monika: “No worries, Yuri. We’re just getting started. Sayori is about to share her new poem.”

Yuri: “Ah, I can’t wait to hear it. Sayori always has such a cheerful and uplifting style.”

(Sayori clears her throat and starts reciting her poem, her voice filled with enthusiasm.)

Sayori: “In a world of colors so bright,
Our words ignite and take flight,
Different minds, diverse and unique,
In this literary haven, we speak.”

(The club members listen intently, captivated by Sayori’s heartfelt words.)

Natsuki: “That was beautiful, Sayori. Your poem always brings a smile to my face.”

Sayori: “Thank you, Natsuki. I’m glad you liked it.”

Monika: “Sayori, your poem perfectly captures the essence of our literature club. It’s a place where we can express ourselves freely and support one another.”

Yuri: “Indeed. Each of us brings our own strengths and perspectives, creating a tapestry of creativity.”

(Suddenly, the sound of the school bell fills the room.)

Monika: “Well, it looks like our meeting time has come to an end. Thank you, Sayori, for sharing your beautiful poem. And thank you, Natsuki, for taking care of the flyers.”

Sayori: “No problem, Monika. I always love sharing with you all.”

Natsuki: “Yeah, it was nice to take a break from the festival preparations and hear some uplifting words for a change.”

Yuri: “I agree. It’s moments like these that remind us why we love literature and being part of this club.”

(The members pack up their things, ready to head to their next classes.)

Monika: “See you all at the festival planning meeting later.”

Sayori: “Can’t wait! I’ll bring some of my homemade cookies to share!”

Natsuki: “Ooh, count me in! I could use some tasty treats to keep me fueled.”

Yuri: “I’ll make sure to bring some tea to complement the cookies. It’s always nice to have a calm and cozy atmosphere during our meetings.”

Monika: “That sounds perfect, everyone. Let’s make this school festival our best one yet!”

Natsuki: “I really hope that I don’t pop during the festival. That would be a bit of a disaster.”
