(In the school literature clubroom…)

Monika: “Alright, that concludes today’s meeting! MC, Sayori, Natsuki, Yuri, you all had some great poems.”

MC: “Thanks, Monika! I really enjoyed listening to everyone’s poems today.”

Sayori: “Yeah, they were all so different but equally amazing. It’s always so inspiring to hear what you all come up with.”

Natsuki: “Well, I definitely liked some more than others, but variety is a good thing, I guess.”

Yuri: “I must say, your poem really caught my attention, MC. The imagery was quite vivid, and you captured emotions perfectly.”

Monika: “Oh, MC, I have to agree with Yuri. Your poem had such depth and beauty to it. I could tell you put a lot of thought into it.”

MC: “Thank you, guys. I’m really happy you liked it. Sayori, your poem was really uplifting and had such a positive message.”

Sayori: “Aww, thanks, MC. I tried to write something happy and motivational this time.”

Natsuki: “Well, I thought your poem was a bit too fluffy for my taste, Sayori. But hey, if it made you happy, that’s what matters.”

Yuri: “Natsuki, I loved your poem as well. It had a simplicity to it that made it quite charming.”

Natsuki: “Uh, thanks, Yuri. I didn’t think you would enjoy it that much, considering our different writing styles.”

Monika: “That’s the beauty of our literature club, Natsuki. We’re all so different, yet our unique perspectives bring something special to the table.”

MC: “Exactly. It’s fascinating to see how our individual writing styles reflect our personalities.”

Sayori: “Yeah, it’s like a little glimpse into each other’s minds and hearts. I love being a part of this club.”

Yuri: “I agree. The literature club is a safe space where we can express ourselves freely through our writing.”

Monika: “And I’m so proud to see how far we’ve come as a club. We’ve grown both individually and as a team. Anyways, can’t wait to see you tomorrow!”

MC: “Yeah, me too! Same time, same place?”

Monika: “Of course! See you all then!”

(As the members start leaving the clubroom, they can’t help but feel a sense of accomplishment and unity. Each of them cherishes the friendships they’ve formed and the support they’ve received through their writing journey. Just then, Monika notices a student leaning against the wall & caressing her belly - and she is very clearly in the 7th month of pregnancy. However, she looks like she’s carrying more than one baby.)

Monika: (concerned) “Excuse me, miss, are you alright? Do you need any help?”

Pregnant Student: (smiling) “Oh, no need to worry, I’m perfectly fine. Just enjoying the peace and quiet here before the little ones arrive. My name’s Emily, by the way. I’m actually the president of the art club.”

Monika: “Nice to meet you, Emily! I’m Monika, the president of the literature club. It’s great to see fellow club presidents around here. Are you excited about becoming a mom?”

Emily: “Absolutely! I can’t wait to meet my little ones. It’s a bit overwhelming at times, but I’m really looking forward to this new chapter of my life. Baby A has been keeping me on my toes with all his kicking. Baby B is more on the chill side, as she’s always lazily stretching and rolling around. Baby C just a little more active than Baby B, but he’s not as wild as Baby A. Finally, there’s Baby D. She’s the biggest of the bunch and always seems to be snuggled up in a cozy corner.”

Monika: “Wow, four babies! That’s quite a handful. It must be exciting to feel their different personalities already.”

Emily: “It really is. I can already sense their uniqueness, even though they haven’t arrived yet. I guess it’s like the joy of discovering different writing styles and perspectives in the literature club. But walking with a baby bump THIS big sure is a challenge. I have to waddle around everywhere and finding a comfortable position to sit or sleep is getting more difficult by the day.”

Monika: “I can only imagine. Carrying four babies must make everything a little more challenging. Is there anything we can do to help?”

Emily: “Oh, that’s very kind of you, Monika. Honestly, just having someone to talk to and share this experience with already means a lot to me. Being a club president can sometimes feel lonely, but knowing that there are others going through their own journeys brings a sense of connection.”
