(In the school literature clubroom…)

Monika: “Um…where’s Yuri? Sayori, Natsuki, MC, have you seen her?”

Sayori: “Hmm, I haven’t seen her since this morning. She’s usually here before me.”

Natsuki: “Yeah, same here. Maybe she’s running late today.”

MC: “I hope she’s alright. Maybe we can text her and see if everything’s okay?”

Monika: “That’s a good idea, MC. Let me send her a message.”

(Monika takes out her phone and starts typing. However, a few minutes later and there’s still no response from Yuri.)

Sayori: “Maybe her phone is dead or something. It happens to me all the time!”

Natsuki: “Or maybe she just doesn’t feel like coming today. It’s not like it’s mandatory, right?”

MC: “I don’t know…Yuri usually loves literature club. It’s unusual for her to miss it without any prior notice.”

(Meanwhile, in the nurse’s office…)

Yuri: (laying down on the medical table) “Wait, nurse, how are you still working here despite being in your last trimester?”

Nurse: “Oh, don’t worry about me, Yuri. I’m used to it by now. Besides, I love my job, and it keeps me busy.”

Yuri: “But isn’t it risky for you and the baby? Shouldn’t you be taking it easy?”

Nurse: “I appreciate your concern, Yuri, but my doctor says it’s safe for me to continue working as long as I don’t exert myself too much. I take plenty of breaks and listen to my body.”

Yuri: “I suppose if your doctor approves it, then it must be fine. But please remember to take care of yourself and the little one.”

Nurse: “I will, don’t worry. Now, what brings you here today? Are you feeling unwell?”

Yuri: “No, it’s not that. I just had a terrible headache this morning, and it hasn’t really improved. I thought it was best to come and get it checked.”

Nurse: “I see. Headaches can be quite bothersome. Let me take your vitals and see if we can figure out what might be causing it.”

(Yuri sits up as the nurse takes her blood pressure and asks her a series of questions about her symptoms and medical history.)

Nurse: “Your blood pressure is slightly elevated, but nothing too concerning. Have you been experiencing any stress lately?”

Yuri: “Well, there have been a few things on my mind, but nothing out of the ordinary. I’ve been trying to manage my stress and practice self-care.”

Nurse: “That’s good to hear, Yuri. Stress can definitely contribute to headaches. I recommend you continue taking care of yourself, perhaps try some relaxation techniques, and make sure to get enough rest.”

Yuri: “Thank you, nurse. I will do my best to follow your advice.”

Nurse: “You’re welcome, Yuri. And remember, if the headache persists or worsens, don’t hesitate to come back and see me. It’s better to be safe than sorry.”

Yuri: “Of course, I understand. Thank you for your help.”

(Back in the literature clubroom…)

Monika: “I still haven’t heard back from Yuri. I’m starting to get worried.”

Sayori: “Maybe we should go check on her. It’s unusual for her to miss club, especially without any explanation.”

Natsuki: “Yeah, I guess it wouldn’t hurt to go see if she’s okay. Let’s go, you guys.”

MC: “I agree. Yuri is a part of our club, and it’s important that we look out for each other.”

(The group gathers their belongings and makes their way to the nurse’s office. They enter cautiously, not wanting to disturb any ongoing examinations. But when they enter, they see that the
