Doctor: "Don't worry, Natsuki. It's normal to experience some discomfort during pregnancy. However, let's run some tests just to be safe. We'll monitor your condition closely." Natsuki: "Thank you, Doctor. I'm just really worried. It's my first pregnancy, and I want everything to go smoothly." Doctor: "I understand. It's natural to feel anxious, but we're here to support you. Let's get you settled in a room and perform the necessary examinations." (Back at the literature clubroom...) Monika: "We still can't reach her. This isn't like Natsuki at all." Yuri: "Do you think she's alright? Maybe something truly serious happened." Sayori: "Maybe we should swing by her house after school. Just to make sure she's okay." Monika: "That sounds like a plan. We can't ignore this, especially if Natsuki is in trouble." (After school, the girls make their way to Natsuki's house. They hurriedly knock on the door, but there is no response.) Monika: "Natsuki! Are you there?" Yuri: "Maybe she's not home? But she should at least have her phone with her." Sayori: "What if something happened to her? We need to find out!" (They notice a neighbor passing by.) Monika: "Excuse me, have you seen Natsuki recently?" Neighbor: "Oh, Natsuki? Yes, I saw her leaving in a hurry this morning. She seemed upset." Yuri: "Upset? Did she say anything?" Neighbor: "No, she just looked worried and mentioned something about the hospital." Sayori: "The hospital? Oh no, we need to go there right away!" (The girls rush to the hospital, fearing the worst. They ask the receptionist if Natsuki is admitted.) Receptionist: "I'm sorry, but I can't provide any information without her consent." Monika: "Please, it's urgent. We're her friends, and we're really worried about her." Receptionist: "Let me check for you. Give me a moment." (After a few minutes, the receptionist returns.) Receptionist: "I'm sorry for the wait. Natsuki is indeed admitted here. She's in a room on the third floor. However, only family members are allowed to visit." Yuri: "Is she okay? Can you at least tell us that?" Receptionist: "I'm not authorized to disclose her condition. You'll have to wait for her or her family to provide that information." Sayori: "Thank you. We'll wait then. We just hope she's alright." (The girls find a waiting area and anxiously sit together, hoping for Natsuki's well-being.) To be continued...
