(In the school literature clubroom…)

Monika: “There! Everything’s all in order for the meeting today. Now we just need to wait for Natsuki. In the meantime…Sayori, Yuri, MC, does anyone have something they want to share?”

Sayori: “I have a new poem I’ve been working on! Would you all like to hear it?”

Yuri: “I have a new book recommendation. It’s a psychological thriller that I think everyone will enjoy.”

MC: “I’ve been learning how to code and I built a new interactive story game. I could show it to you all if you’re interested.”

Monika: “Wow, I’m impressed by all of your creativity. This is what the literature club is all about - exploring different forms of expression. Hopefully Natsuki gets here soon-”

(Just then, the door bursts open and Natsuki rushes in, out of breath)

Natsuki: “Sorry, sorry, I’m late! I got caught up in finishing some baking for our meeting today. But I’m here now, and I brought cupcakes! Jeez, it took forever to get here. Being pregnant is no joke, let me tell you.”

Monika: “Wait, what? Pregnant? Natsuki, you’re pregnant?”

Natsuki: “Yeah, surprise! I found out a few weeks ago. It’s still kind of surreal, but I’m excited. And no worries, I made sure to bake some cupcakes that are pregnancy-safe for everyone to enjoy.”

Sayori: “Oh my gosh, congratulations Natsuki! That’s amazing news. And thank you for the cupcakes, they look delicious.”

Yuri: “Indeed, congratulations Natsuki. This calls for a celebration!”

MC: “I’m so happy for you, Natsuki. And those cupcakes look amazing. Let’s all dig in and enjoy them while we continue sharing our creative works.”

Monika: “Yes, let’s celebrate this wonderful news together. Natsuki, we’re all here to support you and help in any way we can. And now, let the literature club meeting begin!”

Natsuki: “Thank you all so much. I’m so grateful to have such amazing friends like you in my life. Let’s make this meeting a memorable one!”

(The literature club members each take a cupcake and begin to enjoy the delicious treats, chatting and sharing their creative works with one another. The meeting is filled with laughter, support, and celebration as they come together to appreciate each other’s talents and accomplishments. However, toward the end of the meeting, Natsuki suddenly clutches her stomach in pain, causing everyone to panic and worry.)

Monika: “Natsuki, are you okay? Do we need to call for help?”

Natsuki: “I…I think I’m having contractions. The baby is coming.”

Sayori: “Oh no, this is not good. We need to get you to the hospital right away!”

Yuri: “I’ll call for an ambulance. Stay calm, Natsuki, we’re all here for you.”

MC: “Don’t worry, Natsuki, we’ll take care of everything. Just focus on breathing and staying calm.”

(The club members spring into action, helping Natsuki get to the hospital and ensuring she receives the care she needs. Despite the unexpected turn of events, they remain by Natsuki’s side, offering her comfort and reassurance.)

Natsuki: “They’re getting closer…I don’t know if I can hold it in any longer. But thank you all for being here for me. I couldn’t ask for better friends.”

Monika: “You’re going to be okay, Natsuki. We’re all here for you, every step of the way.”

(Natsuki’s contractions continue while waiting for the ambulance, with each one being supported by her friends and fellow literature club members. Despite this, the ambulance seems to be taking longer than expected to arrive, causing the club members to worry even more.)

Sayori: “Why is the ambulance taking so long? Natsuki needs help now!”

Yuri: “We need to stay calm and keep Natsuki comfortable until they arrive. She’s strong, she can get through this.”

MC: “I’ll try calling again for an update on the ambulance’s arrival. We need to make sure Natsuki and the baby-”

Natsuki: “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!! IT HURTS!!!”
