(In the school literature clubroom…)

Monika: “Morning, Sayori! Ready for today’s club meeting?”

Sayori: “Good morning, Monika! Oh, you bet I am! I can’t wait to share my new poem with everyone.”

Monika: “That’s great to hear, Sayori! I’m sure everyone will enjoy hearing your poem. Sharing our work is one of the best parts of our literature club.”

(Sayori beams with excitement.)

Sayori: “Yeah, it’s always so nice to see everyone’s different writing styles and ideas. It’s like a creative buffet!”

Monika: “Haha, I like that analogy!”

(Just then, the door opens and Natsuki - very heavily pregnant - walks in, holding a stack of papers.)

Natsuki: “Ugh, finally! I finished printing out the flyers for the upcoming school festival. Can’t believe it took me so long.”

Sayori: “Wow, Natsuki! You did all that by yourself? That’s really impressive! What are the flyers for?”

Natsuki: “Yeah, it was a lot of work, but I wanted to make sure they look perfect. The flyers are for our literature club’s booth at the school festival. We want to promote our club and attract new members.”

Monika: “That’s a great idea, Natsuki! It’s important to spread the word about our club and get more people interested in literature. I’m sure the flyers will do just that.”

Natsuki: “I hope so. I made sure to include some eye-catching designs and a brief description of our club activities. I also added a few quotes from some of our favorite poems to pique people’s interest. Also, REALLY hope that I don’t pop mid-festival! Wouldn’t want to have my water break in the middle of all the excitement.”

Sayori: “Oh my goodness, Natsuki! We definitely wouldn’t want that to happen! Make sure to take breaks and rest when you need to. We don’t want any accidents.”

Natsuki: “Don’t worry, I’ll be careful. Besides, I’m excited to see how our booth turns out. We’ve put a lot of effort into making it inviting and showcasing our love for literature.”

Monika: “Absolutely! And I’m really looking forward to seeing how the festival turns out overall. It’s always such a fun and lively event for the entire school.”

(Just then, Yuri enters the clubroom carrying a box filled with books.)

Yuri: “Good morning everyone. Sorry I’m a bit late. I brought some additional books that we can display at our booth. I thought it would be a good opportunity to share some of our favorite literature pieces.”

Sayori: “Yuri, that’s a wonderful idea! The more variety we have, the more people will be interested in joining our club.”

Monika: “Yuri, Natsuki, thank you both for your hard work. I’m really proud of all the effort everyone has put into making our literature club thrive.”

Natsuki: “It’s all for the love of literature! And for the love of cupcakes, of course.”

Sayori: “Haha, that’s our Natsuki! Always reminding us about the cupcakes.”

Yuri: “Well, they do add a special touch to our club meetings.”

(The next day, 1 minute before the festival…)

Natsuki: (breathing heavily) “Ah…! Oh God, I think my water just broke!”

Sayori: “Oh no, Natsuki! We need to get you to the hospital right away!”

Natsuki: “But…we have a minute left before the festival starts!”

Monika: “Natsuki, your health and safety are the most important things right now. Don’t worry about the festival. We’ll handle everything here. Sayori, call an ambulance immediately.”

Sayori: “I’m on it, Natsuki! I’ll make sure you get the help you need. Just try to stay calm.”

(Yuri rushes to Natsuki’s side to offer support.)

Yuri: “Natsuki, everything is going to be okay. We’ll make sure you’re taken care of. Your well-being is the top priority.”

(As Sayori makes the call, Monika starts making arrangements to inform the festival organizers about the situation.)

Monika: “I’ll let the festival organizers know what’s happening and explain the situation. I’m sure they’ll understand. Our club members can help set up the booth in the meantime.”

(Just then, Natsuki lets out a strained cry of pain.)

Natsuki: “Oh no…it’s coming…I can’t…hold it…”

Sayori: “Hang on, Natsuki! Help is on its way!”

Natsuki: “I can’t…it’s too late…I can feel the baby coming…”

(Yuri tries to comfort Natsuki while waiting for the ambulance.)

Yuri: “Natsuki, just breathe and try to stay calm. Help will arrive soon and everything will be okay.”

(Sayori returns from making the call to the ambulance dispatcher.)

Sayori: “Natsuki, I spoke with the dispatcher and they said the ambulance is on its way. They’re doing everything they can to get here as quickly as possible.”

Natsuki: “I…I can’t…it hurts…”

Monika: “Natsuki, you’re doing great. Just remember to breathe and stay as relaxed as you can. We’re all here for you, supporting you.”

(Just as the festival starts, Natsuki screams
