(In the clubroom…)

Monika: “Wait a minute…where’s Natsuki?”

Yuri: “Maybe she’s out getting snacks? I don’t know. She’s 7 months pregnant with Sakura, so maybe she’s getting an ultrasound.”

Sayori: “I’ll give her a call, just in case.”

(Sayori takes out her phone and dials Natsuki’s number. After a few rings, however, it goes straight to voicemail.)

Sayori: “Hmm, it went straight to voicemail. That’s strange. I hope everything is okay with her and the baby.”

Monika: “Should we try calling again or maybe go to her place?”

Yuri: “I think it would be best if we go check on her. It’s unusual for Natsuki to not show up without any notice, especially considering her pregnancy.”

(The club members quickly wrap up their activities and head towards Natsuki’s house.)

(At Natsuki’s house…)

Monika: (knocks on the door) “Natsuki, are you there? It’s Monika, Yuri, and Sayori. We’re here to check on you.”

(There’s no response from inside the house.)

Yuri: “Natsuki, please open the door. We’re worried about you.”

(Silence persists for a moment before Monika turns to Sayori.)

Monika: “Sayori, do you have a spare key to Natsuki’s house by any chance?”

Sayori: “Actually, I do. She gave it to me a while ago for emergencies. Let me find it.”

(Sayori rummages through her bag, finally finding the spare key. She hands it to Monika.)

Monika: “Alright, let’s go in and make sure she’s alright. I hope she isn’t in labor…”

(Monika unlocks the door and they cautiously enter the house. They call out Natsuki’s name as they search each room.)

Sayori: “Natsuki? Where are you?”

Yuri: “I don’t see her anywhere. Maybe she’s resting in her bedroom?”

(They make their way to Natsuki’s bedroom and find her lying on the bed, and experiencing obvious contractions with her water about to break.)

Monika: “Oh no, Natsuki, are you okay?”

Natsuki: (grimacing in pain) “I…I think…I’m in labor.”

Sayori: “We need to get you to the hospital as soon as possible!”

Yuri: “Monika, call an ambulance right away!”

(Monika quickly dials the emergency number while Sayori and Yuri rush to Natsuki’s side to support her.)

Natsuki: (crying out in pain) “Hurry, please! My water’s about to break!!”

Monika: “The ambulance is on its way, Natsuki. Just hang in there. We’re here with you.”

(Yuri and Sayori help Natsuki into a more comfortable position while they wait for the ambulance.)

Sayori: “Try to breathe slowly, Natsuki. Everything will be alright. We’re here for you.”

Yuri: “You’re doing great, Natsuki. Just a little longer, and help will be here.”

Natsuki: “Monika, the water’s getting ready to break…”

Monika: “Don’t worry, Natsuki. The ambulance will be here soon, and they’ll know how to handle everything. Just focus on staying calm and taking deep breaths.”

Natsuki: “I’m trying, Monika… It hurts so much…” (feeling a sudden gush of water) “…oh no…”

Monika: “It’s okay, Natsuki. Just stay calm. We’re here for you, and the paramedics will be here soon.”

(Yuri and Sayori quickly grab some towels and provide them to Natsuki to help contain the situation.)

Sayori: “Just breathe, Natsuki. You’re doing amazing. We’re going to help you through this.”

(Yuri holds Natsuki’s hand and offers words of encouragement as they wait for the ambulance.)

Yuri: “Remember, Natsuki, you’re strong. You can get through this. We’ll be right by your side.”

(Soon, the sound of sirens can be heard in the distance, and the ambulance arrives as Natsuki starts giving birth on the spot.)
