(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 gosh, Yuri, it’s happening! Just keep breathing, the ambulance will be here soon.”

Natsuki: “Stay strong, Yuri. We’re all here for you.”

(The sound of sirens grows closer as the girls assist Yuri in preparing for the delivery. The tension in the room is palpable.)

Sayori: (on the phone) “Please hurry, she’s going into labor!”

Operator: “An ambulance is en route. In the meantime, try to keep her calm and ensure she’s in a comfortable position.”

Yuri: (lightly panting) “I can’t believe this is happening…I’m scared, but I know I can do this.”

Monika: “You’ve got this, Yuri. Just remember to breathe and focus on bringing your beautiful little one into the world. We’re all here to support you.”

(Suddenly, the sound of an ambulance siren blares outside, growing louder and louder until it stops in front of the clubroom.)

Paramedics: (bursting into the room) “What’s the situation here? We received a call about a labor emergency.”

Monika: “Our friend, Yuri, she’s going into labor. Her contractions are getting stronger, and her water broke.”

Paramedic: “Alright, let’s get her onto the stretcher and into the ambulance. We’ll take care of her from here.”

Yuri: “But…my water broke, and I’m fully dilated. I need to have this baby here and now.”

Paramedic: “I understand, but it’s important to ensure both you and the baby are safe. We have the necessary equipment and medical professionals in the ambulance to assist with the delivery. It will be much safer for both of you if we transport you to th-”

Yuri: (interrupting) “No, I can’t wait! I need to push now! It’s too late to go to the hospital!”
