## Plot

The video opens to a dreary scene with rain pouring down as Sayori, who is playing the role of a character named Josh, begs for a woman named Sharel, to not leave him, before confessing his love to her. Monika, who is playing the role of Sharel, then turns around to face Josh, before running up to him and confessing her feelings for him as well. As Sharel leaps into Josh's arms, he tells her to never leave him again, and she asks why she would be anywhere without him. Suddenly, Monika's shoe falls off, and she complains, while Sayori struggles to continue lifting her. Yuri, who is directing the film, tells the girls to stay in character, as this scene is meant to be the most emotional part of the story. Natsuki says that the film is cringey, and Yuri snaps at her, defending the original work as a beautiful love story. Natsuki then jokes that the story should be called "Barrel & Squash" instead of "Sharel & Josh," which further irritates Yuri. Yuri then turns her attention back to filming, but a cracking sound can be heard, and Sayori falls to the ground with Monika landing on top of her. Yuri asks what happened, and Sayori answers that Monika is "too chunky" for her to handle, which insults her. Natsuki asks what happens next in the story, and Yuri tells her that they've reached the ending. Wasting no time, Natsuki yanks the camera from Yuri's hands and prepares to leave.

Later, the Dokis gather in front of Yuri's laptop to see their progress so far. What follows is a series of bloopers, which include Monika drinking a glass of lemon juice while being filmed, Sayori introducing herself before Yuri points out that she's wearing the wrong legwear, and Yuri accidentally filming herself for the rest of the video, much to her dismay. Monika remarks that the project was a bust, and Natsuki states that the moral of the story is to not make movies out of cringey books. Sayori adds on by reiterating that Monika is chunky, insulting her again, before the video ends.

## Trivia

### References

* Yuri's laptop has a yellow heart-shaped emblem on the back that features the logo of the South Korean boy band, BTS.
* The red shorts that Sayori wears in one of the bloopers are the same ones worn by her hanging corpse at the end of Act 1 of *Doki Doki Literature Club!*.
