(In the clubroom…)

Monika: “Natsuki, Yuri…does Sayori look…different? Like…have you noticed something about her belly?”

Natsuki: “Now that you mention it, yeah, there does seem to be something different about Sayori’s belly…her clothes look a bit tighter than usual, don’t they?”

Yuri: “I must admit, I have noticed as well. It appears that Sayori’s belly has indeed grown larger. She may be pregnant.”

Monika: “Pregnant? That’s quite a possibility…but how could this have happened? I mean, we’re all just high school students. And Sayori, she never mentioned having a partner or anything. Aside from MC, there’s nobody that Sayori could have children with.”

Natsuki: “I can’t believe it…Sayori being pregnant. This is such a shock. We need to support her, no matter what.”

Yuri: “Indeed. It’s important that we approach this situation with empathy and understanding. Sayori must be going through a lot right now, and it’s our duty as her friends to be there for her.”

Monika: “Absolutely. We should talk to her and express our concern. It may not be an easy conversation, but it’s necessary. We need to offer our support and help her figure out the best way forward.”

Natsuki: “But…what do we do about the father? If Sayori doesn’t know who it is, this could be quite complicated. We need to consider all the options and help her make the right decision.”

Yuri: “Perhaps we should encourage Sayori to confide in a trusted adult, like a teacher or her parents. They may be able to provide guidance and assistance in this situation.”

Monika: “That’s a good idea, Yuri. We shouldn’t bear this burden alone. Involving the appropriate adults will ensure that Sayori receives the help she needs.”

Natsuki: “I just hope Sayori is okay. We need to let her know that she’s not alone in this and that we’re here for her, no matter what.”

Yuri: “Agreed. Let’s approach this delicately and reassure Sayori that we support her completely. With our combined efforts, we can help her through this challenging time.”

(Together, the club members come up with a plan to talk to Sayori and offer their support, ensuring she knows that they are there for her every step of the way.)

(Meanwhile, at Sayori’s place…)

Sayori: (struggling to fit into her current outfit, all while rubbing her baby bump) “MC…I think my baby bump might be too big for my outfit…”

(MC enters the room and notices Sayori’s struggle)

MC: “Sayori, you look beautiful no matter what you wear, but if you’re feeling uncomfortable, maybe we can find something that suits your growing bump better.”

Sayori: (smiling weakly) “Thanks, MC. I just didn’t expect this at all. I never thought I’d be in this situation. It’s scary.”

MC: “I understand, Sayori. It’s normal to feel scared and overwhelmed right now. But please remember, you’re not alone in this. The club members and I are here to support you, no matter what you decide.”

Sayori: (teary-eyed) “I…I don’t even know who the father is, MC. It’s all so confusing. I never thought I’d have to face this kind of situation.”

MC: “It’s alright, Sayori. We’ll figure this out together. The first step is to talk to someone you trust, like a teacher or your parents. They can provide guidance and help you through this process. It’s important to have a support system.”

Sayori: (sniffles) “I’m scared they’ll be disappointed in me…”

MC: “Sayori, they love you. And they’ll understand that sometimes unexpected things happen in life. It’s important to be honest with them and let them help you. They’ll want what’s best for you and the baby.”

Sayori: “I…I guess you’re right, MC. I’ll talk to them. And thank you…for being here for me.”

MC: “Of course, Sayori. I’ll be by your side every step of the way. Whatever decision you make, I’ll support you. We all will. You’re not alone in this.”

(They share a comforting hug, knowing that they have a strong support system and will face this situation together.)

(But the next day…)

(Monika, Natsuki, and Yuri gather together in the clubroom, feeling concerned and anxious about the conversation they had with Sayori the previous day.)

Monika: “I can’t help but worry about Sayori. I hope she’s doing okay after our talk.”

Natsuki: “Yeah, it must have been a lot for her to take in. I just hope she knows we’re here for her.”

Yuri: “I can’t shake off this feeling of unease. Sayori’s situation is delicate, and we need to handle it with care.”

(Just then, Sayori enters the clubroom - holding a paternity test in her hand.)

Sayori: (looking nervous) “Um…guys, I took a paternity test. I needed to know who the father is, for my own peace of mind.”

Monika: (concerned) “Sayori, what did the test results say?”

Sayori: (teary-eyed) “It’s…it’s MC. He’s the father.”

Natsuki: (stammering) “Wait…MC? Our MC? That’s…wow.”

Yuri: “I…I never would have expected that. This complicates things even more.”

Monika: (calming her voice) “Sayori, it’s understandable that this news may be overwhelming. But please know that we’re here for you, regardless of the circumstances. We’ll support you through this, just like we promised. But still, I had a feeling MC was the father.”

Sayori: (sniffles) “I know it’s a lot to take in, but I couldn’t keep it to myself. I needed to know the truth, and now I have to figure out what to do next.”

MC: (walking into the clubroom) “Sayori, I heard everything…I…I had no idea this could happen. I never expected it.”

Sayori: (looking at MC, tears streaming down her face) “MC…I’m so sorry…I never wanted things to turn out like this…”

MC: (taking a deep breath) “Sayori, there’s no need to apologize. We’re both in this together, and we’ll navigate this situation as a team. I promise to support you, no matter what.”

Monika: (placing a hand on Sayori’s shoulder) “Sayori, you have a tough decision to make, but you don’t have to face it alone. We will be here for you every step of the way, providing guidance and support.”

Natsuki: “And remember, Sayori, there’s no right or wrong decision. It’s about what feels right for you and the baby.”

Yuri: “Indeed, Sayori. We will respect whatever choice you make and help you through the challenges that lie ahead.”

Sayori: (sniffles) “Thank you, everyone…I never expected this, but I’m grateful to have such supportive friends. It means the world to me.”

(MC walks over and embraces Sayori, offering her a source of comfort and reassurance)

MC: “Sayori, we’ll figure this out. We’ll explore all the options, talk to trusted adults, and make the best decision for our future. But above all, know that you are loved and supported.”

Sayori: (holding onto MC tightly) “Thank you, MC…I don’t know what I would do without you and the rest of the club. Let’s face this together.”

(The club members share a moment of unity, their focus shifting towards supporting Sayori through this unexpected and challenging journey.)

(Back at Sayori’s place…)
