(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.”

Sayori: “Wow, Natsuki! You did all that by yourself? That’s really impressive! What are the flyers for?”

Natsuki: “Yeah, it was a lot of work, but I wanted to make sure they look perfect. The flyers are for our literature club’s booth at the school festival. We want to promote our club and attract new members.”

Monika: “That’s a great idea, Natsuki! It’s important to spread the word about our club and get more people interested in literature. I’m sure the flyers will do just that.”

Natsuki: “I hope so. I made sure to include some eye-catching designs and a brief description of our club activities. I also added a few quotes from some of our favorite poems to pique people’s interest. Also, REALLY hope that I don’t pop mid-festival! Wouldn’t want to have my water break in the middle of all the excitement.”

Sayori: “Oh my goodness, Natsuki! We definitely wouldn’t want that to happen! Make sure to take breaks and rest when you need to. We don’t want any accidents.”

Natsuki: “Don’t worry, I’ll be careful. Besides, I’m excited to see how our booth turns out. We’ve put a lot of effort into making it inviting and showcasing our love for literature.”

Monika: “Absolutely! And I’m really looking forward to seeing how the festival turns out overall. It’s always such a fun and lively event for the entire school.”

(Just then, Yuri enters the clubroom carrying a box filled with books.)

Yuri: “Good morning everyone. Sorry I’m a bit late. I brought some additional books that we can display at our booth. I thought it would be a good opportunity to share some of our favorite literature pieces.”

Sayori: “Yuri, that’s a wonderful idea! The more variety we have, the more people will be interested in joining our club.”

Monika: “Yuri, Natsuki, thank you both for your hard work. I’m really proud of all the effort everyone has put into making our literature club thrive.”

Natsuki: “It’s all for the love of literature! And for the love of cupcakes, of course.”

Sayori: “Haha, that’s our Natsuki! Always reminding us about the cupcakes.”

Yuri: “Well, they do add a special touch to our club meetings.”

(The next day, 1 minute before the festival…)

Natsuki: (breathing heavily) “Ah…! Oh God, I think my water just broke!”

Sayori: “Oh no, Natsuki! We need to get you to the hospital right away!”

Natsuki: “But…we have a minute left before the festival starts!”

Monika: “Natsuki, your health and safety are the most important things right now.”

Natsuki: “But…but…what about
