(In the school literature clubroom...) Monika: "Okay, now that everyone's here...who wants to share first?" Natsuki: "Hmm, I guess I can go first. I've been working on a short story lately. It's called 'The Magical Bakery.' It's about a young girl who discovers a hidden bakery in the woods that grants wishes to those who truly believe in its magic." Sayori: "Ooh, that sounds enchanting, Natsuki! I can't wait to read it." Yuri: "I agree, the concept sounds fascinating. I'm interested to see how you incorporate themes of belief and magic into your writing." Natsuki: "Thanks, guys. I'll make sure to bring copies of it next time so you can all read it. Oh, and also...anyone want to hear a joke?" Monika: "Oh dear god, not again..." Sayori: "Natsuki, we're trying to discuss literature here. And plus, your jokes always make me cringe." Natsuki: "Well...I'm telling it anyway. Why don't skeletons fight each other?" Yuri: "I'm not sure, why don't skeletons fight each other?" Natsuki: "Because they don't have the guts!" (Monika is silent for a moment, before speaking up.) Monika: "...you've reached a new low, Natsuki. That joke was absolutely bone-chilling." (Everyone is left utterly silent at Monika's pun.) Monika: "Anyone?" Natsuki: (bursting into a fit of uncontrollable laughter) "AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! OH MY GOD, THAT WAS AWFUL!!!" Sayori: (giggling) "I have to admit, Monika, that was quite clever. You really know how to tickle our funny bones." Yuri: "I must agree, that pun was unexpectedly amusing. Well done, Monika." Monika: "Thank you, thank you. My pun game is on point today, clearly." Natsuki: (wiping away tears of laughter) "You got me good, Monika. I can't believe I fell for it." Monika: "Glad to see you enjoying it, Natsuki. And don't worry, I won't subject you to any more puns for now." Sayori: "Phew, I think we all need a moment to recover from that one. But let's get back to discussing Natsuki's story. I'm really looking forward to it!" Yuri: "Yes, Natsuki. Please do bring the copies next time. I'm eager to dive into your magical world." Natsuki: "Will do. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I enjoyed Monika's pun."
