(In the school clubroom…)

MC: “Sayori, my beloved wife…I can already imagine our baby girl Sachiko will be the most beautiful baby when she arrives.”

Sayori: “Oh, MC, you always know how to make me blush! Sachiko will definitely inherit your good looks and my cheerful personality. I can already picture her cute little smile.”

Natsuki: “Sorry to interrupt you two, but you know you can’t have a baby without actually being married, right?”

Yuri: “Natsuki, please be considerate. They are just imagining a happy future together.”

Natsuki: “Well, sorry if I don’t find it very realistic to be talking about babies before they’re even married.”

MC: “Natsuki, we were just having a light-hearted conversation. We know that having children is a serious commitment and it requires a loving and stable environment, which we aim to have.”

Monika: “I’m really glad to see you two so committed to each other. Building a future together is a beautiful thing, but remember to take things step by step. Marriage is a significant milestone, and then you can plan for a family.”

Sayori: “Of course, Monika. We understand that. We were just fantasizing about the future, you know? It’s all just daydreaming for now.”

Natsuki: “Well, just make sure those daydreams don’t distract you from schoolwork or club activities. We’re here to focus on literature, not baby n-”

(Natsuki notices the golden rings that Sayori and MC both sport on their fingers.)

Natsuki: “Wait, are those…wedding rings?”

Sayori: “Um, yes, they are.”

Natsuki: “Oh…I didn’t realize you two were actually married. I thought it was just a playful conversation.”

MC: “No, we’re actually married. We decided to keep it quiet until now.”

Yuri: “Congratulations! That’s wonderful news!”

Monika: “I’m genuinely happy for both of you. Marriage is a big step, and I hope it brings you even more happiness.”

Sayori: “Thank you, everyone. We didn’t mean to keep it a secret for so long, but we wanted to enjoy this special time together before sharing it with everyone.”

Natsuki: “I’m sorry for my earlier comments then. I didn’t know.”

MC: “It’s okay, Natsuki. We understand. But now that you know, we hope you can support us in our journey.”

Natsuki: “Of course, I will. Congratulations again, you two.”

(The club members congratulate Sayori and MC, their expressions filled with warmth and joy. The conversation shifts to wedding planning and everyone eagerly offers their suggestions and well-wishes for the couple’s future, when suddenly…)

Sayori: “Oh no, my baby! Something doesn’t feel right.”

MC: “Sayori, what’s wrong? Are you okay?”

Yuri: “Should we call an ambulance? Is it an emergency?”

Sayori: (teary-eyed) “I…I don’t know. The pain is getting worse…”

Monika: “Stay calm, Sayori. We’ll help you. Let’s get you to the nurse’s office.”

Natsuki: “I’ll go get the school nurse. Hurry, everyone!”

(The club members rush to the nurse’s office, supporting Sayori as she continues to experience pain. The nurse quickly assesses the situation and calls an ambulance.)

Nurse: “We need to get Sayori to the hospital. This could be a serious complication.”

MC: (worried) “Please, do everything you can to help her.”

(The ambulance arrives, and the club members follow closely behind, their hearts heavy with worry. Eventually, they arrive at the hospital, where doctors and nurses rush Sayori into the emergency room.)

MC: (praying silently) “Please, let Sayori and our baby be okay.”

(The club members anxiously wait in the hospital waiting room, offering each other comfort and support. Hours seem to pass like eternity until a doctor finally emerges from the emergency room.)

Doctor: “Are you here for Sayori?”

MC: “Yes, we are. Is she okay? What about our baby?”

Doctor: “I’m afraid there were some complications during the pregnancy. Sayori had a miscarriage. We did everything we could, but we couldn’t save the baby…”

MC: (devastated) “No… How is Sayori? Is she going to be okay?”

Doctor: “Physically, she will recover. However, emotionally, she will need time to heal. It’s important for her to have a strong support system around her during this difficult time.”

Natsuki: “We’ll be there for her. Whatever she needs, we’ll do our best to support her.”

Yuri: “Let her know that we’re here for her, no matter what. We’ll help her through this grieving process.”

Monika: “We’ll also help her find the resources and support she needs. It’s important for Sayori to know that she’s not alone.”

Doctor: “That’s very encouraging to hear. Just remember, it may take time for her to come to terms with the loss. Be patient and understanding, and give her the space to grieve.”

MC: “Thank you, Doctor. We’ll do our best to support Sayori during this difficult time.”

(The club members exchange somber glances, their hearts heavy with sorrow. They gather their strength and prepare themselves to be there for Sayori, knowing that their support will be crucial in her journey to heal.)

(A few months later, after Sayori’s grieving process…)

MC: “Sayori…I won’t stop until we have a healthy baby girl. I promise, we WILL have a family-”

Sayori: “No, MC. we won’t.”

MC: (shocked) “What do you mean? I thought we both wanted to have a family together.”

Sayori: “MC…the doctor said that I have a heart condition that could make pregnancy extremely risky for me. It’s not safe for us to try again. I’m sorry…”

MC: (heartbroken) “Sayori… I didn’t know…”

Monika: “Sayori, we’re here for you. If there’s anything we can do to support you, please let us know.”

Yuri: “Please don’t blame yourself, MC. Sometimes circumstances are beyond our control. It’s important for us to focus on your well-being and finding alternative paths to happiness.”

Natsuki: “Yeah, MC. We’ll help you both find other ways to fulfill your dreams. Adoption, surrogacy, there are options out there. Don’t give up hope.”

Sayori: (teary-eyed) “Thank you, everyone. I appreciate your support more than I can express.”

MC: “Sayori, I love you no matter what. Our journey may have taken unexpected turns, but we will find a way to build a fulfilling future together.”

Monika: (suddenly getting an idea) “Hang on. Sayori, MC, what if…what if I serve as your surrogate? I could carry your baby for you. It may not be the same as having a biological child, but it could still fulfill your desire to raise a family together.”

Sayori: (surprised) “Monika, are you sure? That’s a huge sacrifice to make for us.”

Monika: “I understand the gravity of the decision, but I want to support you both in any way I can. If this brings you happiness and fulfillment, then it’s worth it to me.”

Yuri: “Monika, that’s an incredibly selfless offer. I admire your willingness to help your friends in such a profound way.”

Natsuki: “I’m amazed at the lengths you’re willing to go for Sayori and MC. It shows how much you truly care about them.”

MC: (overwhelmed with emotions) “Monika…thank you. Your offer means the world to us. We’ll need to have a serious discussion and consider all the implications, but we’re deeply touched by your kindness.”

Sayori: “Monika, I don’t even know how to express my gratitude. Thank you for being such an incredible friend.”

Monika: “You’re both very welcome. The important thing is that we support each other and find happiness in our own unique ways. Together, we’ll navigate this journey and face whatever challenges come our way. We’re a family, after all.”

(The club members embrace, their bond strengthened by their shared dreams, hardships, and unwavering support for one another. In the face of adversity, they find solace in each other and the possibilities that lie ahead.)

(After several months of waiting, Monika finally got pregnant - carrying the baby that Sayori and MC desperately wanted to have.)
