(In the clubroom…)

Natsuki: (pushing with all her might) “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!”

Monika: “You’re doing great, Natsuki. Your daughter will be here soon.”

Natsuki: “I-I-It hurts…!”

Yuri: (offering her friend encouraging words) “I know it hurts, but you can do this!”

Natsuki: “I can do this…I can do this…” (feels another contraction - much more intense then the last one) “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”

Sayori: (rushing into the clubroom) “What’s going on here?! Natsuki, why are you screaming?!”

Natsuki: “I’m pushing, Sayori! My daughter’s about to enter the world!”

Sayori: (wide-eyed) “Oh my goodness, Natsuki! That’s incredible! I can’t believe it’s happening right here in the clubroom!”

Monika: (holding Natsuki’s hand) “Stay strong, Natsuki. We’re all here for you. Just keep pushing.”

Yuri: (fetching some towels and water) “We need to make sure everything is clean and ready. Natsuki, don’t worry, we’ll take care of everything.”

Natsuki: (taking deep breaths) “Thank you, guys. I can’t believe you’re all here with me. I’m scared, but knowing you’re here makes me feel safer.”

Sayori: (holding Natsuki’s other hand) “You’re doing great, Natsuki. You’re so strong and brave. We’re all cheering for you.”

Natsuki: (gritting her teeth) “Okay, I can do this…”

(Natsuki continues to push, desperately trying to bring her daughter into the world. But no matter how much she pushes, her baby girl won’t come out.)

Monika: “Is everything okay, Natsuki? It seems like something might be wrong.”

Natsuki: (teary-eyed) “I don’t know… I’ve been pushing for so long, but she’s not coming out. What if something’s wrong?”

Yuri: “Natsuki, we’re here for you. Let’s not panic just yet. Sometimes labor can take longer than expected. We should call an ambulance just to be safe.”

(Monika quickly dials the emergency number and informs them about the situation.)

Operator: “Emergency services, what’s your emergency?”

Monika: “Hello, we need an ambulance at our school’s clubroom. One of our members, Natsuki, is in labor but her baby isn’t coming out and we’re worried something might be wrong.”

Operator: “Understood, help is on the way. Stay on the line, I’ll provide you with some instructions to help Natsuki until the ambulance arrives.”

Monika: “Thank you, please hurry.”

Yuri: “Natsuki, everything will be alright. The ambulance is on its way.”

Sayori: “Just hang in there, Natsuki. Help is coming.”

Natsuki: (crying) “I’m scared, but I trust you guys. Please, let them come quickly.”

Operator: “Alright, Natsuki. I need you to stay calm and continue pushing when you have contractions. Help will be there soon.”

Natsuki: “Okay, I’ll try… I’ll keep pushing.”

(Meanwhile, the rest of the club members do their best to comfort Natsuki and keep her calm while waiting for the ambulance. Eventually, the ambulance arrives and the paramedics rush into the clubroom, their professional demeanor working to ease everyone’s worries. They quickly assess why Natsuki’s baby girl won’t come out.)

Paramedic 1: “Alright, Natsuki, we’re here to help. Let’s get you to the hospital, where we can better assess the situation.”

Paramedic 2: “We’ll do everything we can to make sure you and your baby are safe, Natsuki.”

Natsuki: (gripping onto Yuri’s hand for support) “Thank you. Please, do whatever you can.”

(With the help of the paramedics, Natsuki is gently placed on a stretcher and guided outside to the waiting ambulance. Monika, Sayori, and Yuri follow closely behind.)

Monika: “We’ll be right there with you, Natsuki. You’re not alone.”

Sayori: “Just hang on, Natsuki. Remember, you’re a strong and amazing person.”

Yuri: “We’ll be in the hospital waiting room, cheering you on, Natsuki. You’re in good hands with the paramedics.”

(In the ambulance, Natsuki holds onto the paramedic’s hand while enduring the bumps and turns on the way to the hospital. She feels scared and anxious, but the paramedic reassures her throughout the journey.)

Paramedic 1: “You’re doing great, Natsuki. Just a little longer until we reach the hospital. We’ll make sure you and your baby girl are well taken care of.”

Natsuki: (teary-eyed) “Thank you. I really appreciate your help.”

(At the hospital, Natsuki is quickly taken into the delivery room while Monika, Sayori, and Yuri anxiously wait in the waiting area. The minutes feel like hours as they hope and pray for Natsuki and her baby’s well-being. Eventually, the paramedics reveal why Natsuki’s baby girl wouldn’t come out.)
