(In the school literature clubroom…)

Monika: "And... there! Everything's all set up for today’s meeting. Now we just need Yuri."

Sayori: "I hope she’s not too late! I can’t wait to hear what she has in store for us today!"

Natsuki: "Ugh, why does she always have to be the last one to show up? It’s so annoying.”

Monika: "Come on, Natsuki. Maybe she got caught up in something interesting. You know how deep she gets into her reading."

Sayori: "Yeah! Besides, it gives us a bit more time to prepare. I’m really excited about the topic she chose for today!"

Natsuki: "I guess so... but if she doesn’t hurry up, I might take charge! And maybe satisfy these stupid cravings while I’m at it. Ugh... the struggles of being pregnant, let me tell you..."

Monika: "Oh, Natsuki! You’re really going through it, huh? Just a few more weeks and you'll be back to normal. Plus, we can always have some snacks ready for you."

Sayori: "Ooh, snacks! That’ll definitely cheer you up! What are you craving right now?"

Natsuki: "I don’t know... it’s like one moment I’m craving cookies, and the next it’s something completely different! Jeez..." (rubbing her belly) "Sakura, can you PLEASE make up your mind?"

Monika: "I can only imagine how hard that must be! But hey, we’ll make sure to have a variety of snacks for you. Cookies, cupcakes, and maybe some fresh fruit too?"

Sayori: "And what about those rice balls you love, Natsuki? I can make a batch! They’re super easy!"

Natsuki: "Oh, yeah! Rice balls would be great. Just... don’t forget the filling, alright? I’m not in the mood for plain ones."

Monika: "Got it! We want to keep you happy and satisfied. It’s all about comfort food, right?"

Sayori: "Speaking of comfort, I hope Yuri has something really cozy planned for today’s discussion. I know she likes to bring a bit of her own world into it."

Natsuki: "Yeah, I bet it’ll be one of those deep, philosophical things. Hopefully, it won't take forever for her to explain." (rubbing her belly) "But seriously, Sakura, you need to calm down and decide what you want. I can't be stuck in this limbo of cravings forever!"

Monika: "I’m sure she’ll be here any minute. And knowing Yuri, she’ll likely bring something intriguing for us to talk about. Maybe even a new book! She’s always full of surprises."

Sayori: "That's true! I love when she gets excited about a new book. It’s like we get to see her sparkle with joy!”

Natsuki: “Yeah, yeah, as long as she doesn’t go on for ages about some obscure literary reference that nobody cares about.”

Monika: "Come on, Natsuki. You know there’s beauty even in those details. Yuri just appreciates the depth of her favorites."

Sayori: "Exactly! Every book has its own magic. And that’s what makes our club special, right? We all have different tastes!"

Natsuki: "Fine, I guess. But if she starts reciting poetry and I can’t eat at the same time, I might lose it."

(Just then, the door creaks open, and Yuri steps in, her arms full of books.)

Yuri: "Oh! I’m so sorry I’m late! I got a bit carried away in the library, and I couldn’t resist picking up a few extra titles for us to discuss."

Monika: "No worries, Yuri! We all just started talking about cravings and food, actually."

Sayori: "Yeah! Natsuki’s been really craving snacks today, so we were thinking of making some treats."

Natsuki: "And I really hope you’re not planning on making us sit through a two-hour lecture on some esoteric theme, Yuri."

Yuri: (blushing slightly) "Um, actually, I thought we could have a more interactive discussion today. I brought some books that tie into the theme of 'Home'—what it means to feel at home in a story, and how settings can reflect emotions."

Sayori: "That sounds amazing, Yuri! I love how stories can feel cozy, like a warm blanket."

Yuri: "Yes! I thought we could read a few excerpts together and share our thoughts. I also brought some poems that explore the theme in more depth."

Natsuki: (raising an eyebrow) "Poems? As long as they don’t put me to sleep while I’m trying to eat, I guess that’s fine."

Yuri: "I assure you that they are quite engaging. I can also summarize them if you prefer."

Sayori: "I’m so excited! I can already picture all the warm feelings and interesting conversations!"

Monika: "And we can always take breaks for snacks whenever you need, Natsuki. Let’s set up a comfy corner where we can relax while discussing."

Natsuki: "Fine, fine. Just promise me we’ll have some time for snacks—especially if you have cookies, rice balls, and absolutely no plain ones! The filling’s Sakura’s favorite
