Natsuki: (glancing up from her manga) "Huh? Oh, sorry. I was engrossed in this chapter." Monika: (smiling) "It's alright. I understand how captivating a good book can be. But Sakura needs some attention." Natsuki: (taking Sakura in her arms) "Okay, okay. Don't cry, Sakura. Mommy's here." (begins gently rocking her) Monika: (watching them interact) "You've really gotten the hang of this motherhood thing, Natsuki. I'm impressed." Natsuki: (blushing) "Thanks. It's been a whirlwind, but I'm trying my best." Monika: (sitting next to her) "I can tell. You've come so far since we first started the literature club. It's amazing to see you as a mother now." Natsuki: (sighing) "Yeah, I never thought this would be my life. But I'm happy it turned out this way." Monika: (smiling warmly) "I'm happy for you too, Natsuki. Sakura is lucky to have you as her mother." Natsuki: (looking down at Sakura) "I hope so. I still have a lot to learn, though." Monika: (placing a hand on Natsuki's shoulder) "Don't worry. We're all here to support you. And I'm always here to lend a listening ear or offer any advice you may need." Natsuki: (smiling gratefully) "Thanks, Monika. I really appreciate that." Monika: (standing up) "Now, why don't you and Sakura join the rest of the club? They're wondering when you'll be finished with your manga." Natsuki: (giggling) "Alright, alright. We'll be there soon." (They both leave the clubroom, Natsuki holding Sakura close as they join the rest of the literature club members, ready to continue their day together.)
