(In the clubroom…)

Monika: “Wait a minute…where’s Natsuki?”

Yuri: “I have no idea. Can’t think straight with this baby bump.” (rubbing her belly) “My sweet little Violet’s also not very active as usual. She’s making me worried…”

Sayori: “I’ll give her a call, just in case.”

(Sayori takes out her phone and dials Natsuki’s number. After a few rings, Natsuki answers.)

Natsuki: “Hello?”

Sayori: “Hey, Natsuki! We realized you’re not here in the clubroom. Is everything alright?”

Natsuki: “Oh, hey Sayori. Yeah, everything’s fine. I just had some stuff to take care of. I didn’t want to bother you guys since you all seemed busy.”

Yuri: “Are you sure you’re alright, Natsuki? We were a bit worried when we didn’t see you.”

Natsuki: “Yeah, yeah, I’m really okay. No need to worry, guys. I’ll be there in a bit, alright?”

Monika: “Alright, just make sure you’re alright, Natsuki. We care about you, you know.”

Natsuki: “Thanks, Monika. I appreciate it. See you soon, guys.”

(They all hang up and wait for Natsuki to arrive.)

Yuri: “I hope she’s telling the truth and everything is okay.”

Monika: “Let’s give her the benefit of the doubt. We’ll find out soon.”

(Soon enough, Natsuki arrives in the clubroom, slightly out of breath.)

Sayori: “Natsuki, you’re finally here! Is everything alright?”

Natsuki: “Yeah, sorry for the worry. I just had a little situation to deal with, but it’s all sorted now. Thanks for checking up on me.”

Yuri: “We care about you, Natsuki. If anything’s ever bothering you, don’t hesitate to let us know.”

Natsuki: “I know, Yuri. I appreciate it.”

Monika: “Well, now that everyone’s here, let’s get back to our activities. Natsuki, did you bring some manga to share?”

Natsuki: “Of course! I wouldn’t miss it.”

Yuri: (clutching her baby bump) “…oh, gosh…oh, gosh…”

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

Yuri: “I…I think Violet is…coming sooner than expected. I’m having contractions. Oh, gosh, this hurts so much…”

Monika: “Yuri, don’t worry! We’ll take care of you. Sayori, call an ambulance right away!”

(Sayori quickly dials for an ambulance while Monika and Natsuki help Yuri to a nearby couch.)

Natsuki: “Hang in there, Yuri. We’ll be with you every step of the way.”

Monika: “Yuri, try to stay calm. Just breathe and focus on getting through the contractions. The ambulance is on its way.”

(Yuri nods, tightly gripping Monika’s hand as the contractions continue.)

Sayori: (on the phone) “Yes, hello? We have an emergency. Our friend is in labor and experiencing painful contractions. We need an ambula-”

Yuri: (noticing a small puddle of water that had formed between her legs) “Uh…guys?”

Monika: “Yuri, what is it?”

Yuri: “I think my water just broke…I’m fully dilated…”

Monika: “Oh goodness, this is happening faster than we anticipated. Don’t worry, Yuri. Just hang in there and breathe. The ambulance will be here soon.”

Natsuki: “Yuri, you’re doing great. Just focus on your breathing and try to stay as relaxed as possible.”

Yuri: “But…little Violet can’t stay in my womb for much longer…she could be in danger…I need to push…like, right now…”

(Sayori quickly relays the information to the emergency operator while Monika and Natsuki try to reassure Yuri.)

Monika: “Yuri, I know it’s scary, but we’ll do everything we can to keep both you and Violet safe. Just try to hold on a little longer until the ambulance arrives.”

Natsuki: “We’re here for you, Yuri. Take deep breaths and focus on your baby. You’re strong, and we believe in you.”

(Yuri nods, her breathing becoming more rapid and intense as the urge to push grows stronger.)

Monika: “The ambulance is on its way, Yuri. Just a few more minutes. You’re doing amazing.”

Natsuki: “Remember to breathe, Yuri. In through your nose, out through your mouth. Stay focused.”

(Yuri clenches her fists and starts pushing with all her might, her face contorted with pain.)

Sayori: (on the phone) “Please, hurry! Our friend is in labor and needs immediate assistance! She’s having intense contractions and her water has already broken!”

Emergency Operator: “Help is on the way. Just keep her as comfortable and calm as possible.”

Monika: “Yuri, keep pushing. You’re doing incredible. We’re right here with you.”

Natsuki: “Remember, the pain means progress. You’re bringing your baby into the world. You’re a warrior, Yuri.”

(Yuri continues to push, her cries of pain filling the room. Moments later, an ambulance siren can be heard in the distance.)

Monika: “They’re here, Yuri! Just a little longer.”

Natsuki: “Keep going, Yuri. We’re so proud of you.”

(Within minutes, paramedics rush into the clubroom with a stretcher. They quickly assess the situation and guide Yuri onto it. All of a sudden, Yuri lets out an agonizing scream as Violet’s head starts to crown.)

Yuri: (straining) “
