(In the clubroom…)

Yuri: (worried) “T-T-T-T-This can’t be good…”

Monika: “Yuri, why are you so worried about her?”

Sayori: (entering the clubroom) “What’s gotten you so worried, Yuri?”

Yuri: “I-I-It’s about Natsuki and her quintuplet sons.”

Sayori: “Quintuplet sons? I didn’t even know Natsuki had children!”

Monika: “Are you sure you heard her right, Yuri? It could just be a misunderstanding.”

Yuri: “I-I’m certain. She mentioned it yesterday, but I didn’t think much of it until now. She seemed really stressed about it too.”

Sayori: “We should talk to her and see if she needs any help. Being a single mother of quintuplets must be incredibly challenging.”

Monika: “That’s a good idea, Sayori. Let’s approach her with understanding and offer our support. We can also brainstorm ways to assist her in managing her responsibilities.”

Yuri: “Yes, offering her our support would be the best approach. I can imagine the immense pressure she must be under.”

(They all wait for Natsuki to arrive, keeping an eye out for her.)

Natsuki: (entering the clubroom, looking exhausted) “Hey guys, sorry I’m late. It’s been a really tough day.”

Monika: “Natsuki, Yuri mentioned that you have quintuplet sons. Is everything alright?”

Natsuki: (sighing) “She means ‘about to have quintuplet sons’. But seriously…” (gritting her teeth) “…this pain is NO JOKE.”

Sayori: “What pain are you talking about, Natsuki?”

Natsuki: (wincing) “Well, apparently I thought I was just having a really bad case of cramps, but turns out it’s contractions. I’m going into labor.”

Yuri: (concerned) “Oh my goodness, Natsuki! Why didn’t you say something earlier?!”

Natsuki: (grimacing) “I didn’t want to make a big deal out of it…but it’s getting harder to ignore now.”

Sayori: “Natsuki, we’re here for you. Is there anything we can do to help?”

Natsuki: (breathing heavily) “I-I don’t even know what to do. This is all happening so fast. I wasn’t prepared for any of this.” (feeling the urge to push right there, right then) “AAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!! Everyone, I think it’s time! I can’t hold it in anymore! I’m about to give birth!"

Monika: (panicking) “Oh no! We need to get you to a hospital right away, Natsuki!”

Natsuki: “But, Monika, there’s no time! The quintuplets are coming NOW! I won’t be able to make it to a hospital in time before I’ve fully given birth!”

Yuri: “What do we do, WHAT DO WE DO?!”

Sayori: “We need to stay calm and think quickly. I’ll monitor the process of Natsuki’s labor and time her contractions.”

(Sayori gently rubs Natsuki’s belly to determine how close the contractions are.)

Sayori: “Oh my gosh…”

Yuri: “What is it, Sayori?”

Sayori: “Natsuki, your water’s about to break.”

Natsuki: “So, I should just breathe until then?”

Monika: “Yes, Natsuki. For now, we’ll get everything set up for the birth.”

(They quickly gather supplies, towels, and blankets, preparing a makeshift delivery area in the clubroom. Sayori helps Natsuki into a comfortable position while Yuri and Monika assist.)

Sayori: “Alright, Natsuki, remember to breathe through the contractions and try to stay calm. We’re all here with you.”

Natsuki: (gritting her teeth) “I’ll try…”

Monika: “Yuri, can you find some warm water and towels to clean the babies once they’re born?”

Yuri: “Of course, I’ll be right back.”

(Yuri rushes out of the clubroom and returns with a basin of warm water and clean towels just 4 minutes before Natsuki’s water breaks.)

Natsuki: (breathing heavily) “I-I can feel it…the pressure is increasing…I think my water’s going to break soon!”

Monika: “Alright, Natsuki, we’re ready for it. Just try to relax and let it happen.”

(Suddenly, Natsuki’s water breaks, causing her to cry out in pain.)

Natsuki: “AAAHH!! It broke!! Does that mean I should start pushing now?!”
