(In the school literature clubroom…)

Monika: “Alright, that’s everything ready for today’s meeting! All that’s missing is MC.”

Yuri: “I wonder where he could be. He’s usually the first one here.”

Sayori: “Don’t worry, he probably just got caught up in something. He’ll be here soon.”

Natsuki: “I hope so. We can’t have a literature club meeting without our fearless leader.”

Monika: “Let’s start brainstorming some ideas for our next club event while we wait for him. Any suggestions?”

Yuri: “How about a poetry slam? It could be a fun way for all of us to showcase our writing skills.”

Sayori: “Ooh, that’s a great idea! I love writing poetry.”

Natsuki: “I’m in! I’ll show you all that I can write more than just manga.”

Monika: “I love the enthusiasm, guys. Let’s work on planning the poetry slam and hopefully MC will show up soon to join us.”

Yuri: “Also, don’t be surprised if I occasionally doze off during the meeting. This baby bump’s gotten so heavy lately, it’s hard to stay awake for long periods of time. It’s exhausting being 7 months pregnant.”

Sayori: “Aww, don’t worry Yuri! We all understand. Just let us know if you need a break or anything.”

Natsuki: “Yeah, we’ll make sure to take care of you. You’re not alone in this.”

Monika: “That’s right. We’re all here to support each other, no matter what. And I’m sure MC will be here soon to join in on planning our event.”

Yuri: “Thank you, guys. I really appreciate it. I’m excited to see what we come up with for the poetry slam.”

(Suddenly, the door opens and MC walks in, a sheepish look on his face.)

MC: “Sorry I’m late, guys. I got caught up in something at home. But I’m here now and ready to help plan our event. What did I miss?”

Monika: “No worries, MC. We were just brainstorming ideas for a poetry slam. We’d love to hear your input.”

Sayori: “Yeah, we’re excited to hear what you think. And we’re all here to support Yuri too, she’s been feeling tired lately with the baby bump.”

MC: “Of course, I’ll make sure to help out with anything Yuri needs. And the poetry slam sounds like a great idea. I can’t wait to see everyone’s writing skills on display.”

Natsuki: “Well, now that everyone’s here, let’s get to planning. This poetry slam is going to be amazing!”

(The literature club members all gather around the table, ready to start planning their next event together. But towards the end of the meeting, Yuri starts to feel a sharp pain in her abdomen and doubles over in discomfort.)

Yuri: “Ow…oh, gosh…oh, not now…they shouldn’t have started this early…”

Monika: “Yuri, are you okay? What’s wrong?”

Yuri: “I think…I think I might be having contractions…”

Sayori: “What?! But you’re only 7 months pregnant! We need to get you to the hospital right away!”

Natsuki: “I’ll call an ambulance. Hang in there, Yuri!”

(MC helps Yuri to a chair as Monika grabs her bag to prepare to accompany her to the hospital. Sayori and Natsuki follow close behind as they wait for the ambulance to arrive.)

Monika: “Yuri, just focus on your breathing. We’re going to get you the help you need.”

Yuri: “Thank you, everyone. I’m scared, but I know I’m in good hands with all of you here.”

MC: “We’ll all be here for you every step of the way, Yuri. You’re not alone.”

Yuri: “Oww…t-t-the contractions are
