(In the school literature clubroom…)

Monika: “There! Everything’s all set up for today’s meeting. Now we just need Sayori.”

Yuri: “I’m looking forward to her sharing her poem with us. She always has such a unique perspective on things.”

Natsuki: “Yeah, she’s the most carefree out of all of us. It’s refreshing to hear her thoughts sometimes.”

Monika: “Well, let’s give her another minute. She’s usually a bit late, but she always shows up eventually.”

(Meanwhile, at Sayori’s house…)

Sayori: “Mom…my stomach hurts. I think there’s something wrong with the baby.”

Sayori’s Mom: “Oh sweetie, let’s go to the hospital right away. We need to make sure everything is okay.”

Sayori: (tears forming in her eyes) “I’m scared, Mom. What if something happens to the baby?”

Sayori’s Mom: “Don’t worry, honey. I’m here with you. We’ll get you the help you need. Everything will be okay.”

(Sayori and her mom rush to the hospital, leaving the literature club meeting without her. Back at the clubroom…)

Monika: “Hmm, she still hasn’t shown up. I hope everything is okay…”

Yuri: “Maybe we should text her to make sure she’s alright.”

Natsuki: “Good idea. I’ll send her a message now.”

(They wait for a response, growing more worried by the minute. However, there’s still no reply from Sayori. Monika decides to call her, but the call goes straight to voicemail.)

Monika: “I’m starting to get really worried. This isn’t like Sayori to miss a meeting without letting us know.”

Yuri: “I hope everything is okay. Maybe we should go check on her.”

Natsuki: “Yeah, I agree. Let’s go see if she’s home.”

(The three girls quickly gather their things and head to Sayori’s house. Meanwhile, at the hospital…)

Sayori’s Mom: “Is everything going to be okay, doctor?”

Doctor: “We’ve done some tests, and it appears that Sayori is experiencing some complications with her pregnancy. We’re going to monitor her closely and do everything we can to ensure the safety of both her and the baby.”

Sayori’s Mom: “Thank you, doctor. Please do everything you can to help her.”

(Back at Sayori’s house…)

Monika: “Sayori, are you home? It’s us, the literature club.”

Yuri: “I hope she’s okay. I can’t believe she’s going through this alone.”

Natsuki: “Let’s try knocking on the door again.”

(They knock on the door again, but there’s still no answer. Worried, they decide to try the door and find it unlocked. They cautiously enter the house, calling out for Sayori.)

Monika: “Sayori, where are you? Are you okay?”

Yuri: “This doesn’t look good. We need to find her.”

Natsuki: “Let’s split up and search the house. She must be here somewhere.”

(They search the house room by room, but there’s no sign of Sayori anywhere in the house. As they reach the bedroom, they see a note on the bed. Monika picks it up and reads it aloud.)

Monika: “’I’m sorry, everyone. I didn’t want to worry you, but I had to go to the hospital. There are complications with the baby. Please don’t blame yourselves for not knowing.’ Oh no, this is terrible.”

Yuri: “We need to go to the hospital right away. Sayori needs us now more than ever.”

Natsuki: “Let’s go. We’ll do whatever we can to support her through this.”

(The girls rush to the hospital, where they find Sayori and her mom in the waiting room. Sayori looks relieved to see them.)

Sayori: “I’m sorry for not telling you sooner. I didn’t want to worry you.”

Monika: “Don’t apologize, Sayori. We’re here for you, no matter what. We’re all worried about you and the baby.”

Yuri: “We’re here to support you through this, Sayori. You’re not alone.”

Natsuki: “We care about you, Sayori. We’ll be by your side every step of the way.”

Sayori: “Thank you, guys. I don’t know what I would do without you. Your support means everything to me- OWWW!!!”
