(In the clubroom…)

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

Yuri: “I have no idea. Can’t think straight with this baby bump.” (rubbing her belly) “My sweet little Violet’s also not very active as usual. She’s making me worried…”

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

(Sayori takes out her phone and dials Natsuki’s number. After a few rings, Natsuki answers.)

Natsuki: “Hello?”

Sayori: “Hey, Natsuki! We realized you’re not here in the clubroom. Is everything alright?”

Natsuki: “Oh, hey Sayori. Yeah, everything’s fine. I just had some stuff to take care of. I didn’t want to bother you guys since you all seemed busy.”

Yuri: “Are you sure you’re alright, Natsuki? We were a bit worried when we didn’t see you.”

Natsuki: “Yeah, yeah, I’m really okay. No need to worry, guys. I’ll be there in a bit, alright?”

Monika: “Alright, just make sure you’re alright, Natsuki. We care about you, you know.”

Natsuki: “Thanks, Monika. I appreciate it. See you soon, guys.”

(They all hang up and wait for Natsuki to arrive.)

Yuri: “I hope she’s telling the truth and everything is okay.”

Monika: “Let’s give her the benefit of the doubt. We’ll find out soon.”

(Soon enough, Natsuki arrives in the clubroom, slightly out of breath.)

Sayori: “Natsuki, you’re finally here! Is everything alright?”

Natsuki: “Yeah, sorry for the worry. I just had a little situation to deal with, but it’s all sorted now. Thanks for checking up on me.”

Yuri: “We care about you, Natsuki. If anything’s ever bothering you, don’t hesitate to let us know.”

Natsuki: “I know, Yuri. I appreciate it.”

Monika: “Well, now that everyone’s here, let’s get back to our activities. Natsuki, did you bring some manga to share?”

Natsuki: “Of course! I wouldn’t miss it.”

Yuri: (clutching her baby bump) “…oh, gosh…oh, gosh…”

Sayori: “Yuri, are you okay? What’s wrong?”

Yuri: “I…I think Violet is…coming sooner than expected. I’m having contractions. Oh, gosh, this hurts so much…”

Monika: “Yuri, don’t worry! We’ll take care of you. Sayori, call an ambulance right away!”

(Sayori quickly dials for an ambulance while Monika and Natsuki help Yuri to a nearby couch.)

Natsuki: “Hang in there, Yuri. We’ll be with you every step of the way.”

Monika: “Yuri, try to stay calm. Just breathe and focus on getting through the contractions. The ambulance is on its way.”

(Yuri nods, tightly gripping Monika’s hand as the contractions continue.)

Sayori: (on the phone) “Yes, hello? We have an emergency. Our friend is in labor and experiencing painful contractions. We need an ambula-”

Yuri: (noticing a small puddle of water that had formed between her legs) “Uh…guys?”

Monika: “Yuri, what is it?”

Yuri: “I think my water just broke…it’s time to start pushing…”

Monika: “Oh my goodness, Yuri, it’s really happening! Just keep breathing and push when you feel ready. We’ll support you every step of the way.”

Natsuki: “You’ve got this, Yuri! We’re all here for you. Just remember to stay strong and take deep breaths.”

(Sayori relays the information to the emergency operator while everyone in the clubroom does their best to stay calm.)

Sayori: (on the phone) “Yes, her water broke and she’s starting to push. Please hurry, we need the ambulance as soon as possible!”

(As the contractions intensify and Yuri begins pushing, the room fills with a mix of anticipation and worry.)

Monika: “You’re doing great, Yuri! Just keep pushing, and your beautiful baby will be here soon.”

Natsuki: “Remember to take deep breaths and push with all you’ve got, Yuri. We’re here for you, cheering you on.”

(With each push, Yuri’s determination grows stronger, fueled by the support and encouragement of her friends.)

Sayori: (on the phone) “The contractions are getting stronger, and she’s making progress with each push. Please hurry! We need the ambulance here now!”

(As time feels like it’s standing still, the sound of sirens becomes audible in the distance, growing louder with each passing moment.)

Monika: “Yuri, the ambulance is almost here. Just a little longer, you’re doing amazing. Keep pushing, you’re so close!”

Natsuki: “You’ve got this, Yuri! We’re all here for you. Just focus on the end goal, meeting your beautiful baby.”

(Suddenly, the doors burst open and paramedics rush into the room, quickly assessing the situation.)

Paramedic: “Alright, ma’am, we’re here to assist you. Keep pushing, and we’ll guide you through this delivery.”

(Yuri, exhausted but determined, continues to push with renewed strength and the guidance of the paramedics.)

Monika: “You’re almost there, Yuri! Just a few more pushes, and you’ll get to meet your precious little one.”

Natsuki: “You’re so strong, Yuri. This is it, just a little more, and your baby will be in your arms.”

(After a final round of intense pushing, the room fills with the sound of a newborn baby’s cry.)

Paramedic: “Congratulations, it’s a healthy baby girl!”

(Everyone in the room cheers and tears of joy fill their eyes as Yuri cradles her newborn daughter in her arms.)

Monika: “She’s beautiful, Yuri. You did an incredible job.”

Natsuki: “Welcome to the world, little one. We’re so glad you’re finally here.”

(Yuri, holding her daughter close, smiles and feels overwhelming gratitude for the support and love of her friends.)

Yuri: “Thank you all so much for being here for me. I couldn’t have done it without you.” (to her newborn daughter) “Hello there, my sweet
