Monika: "Sayori, don't worry. MC is probably just running late. You know how sometimes he can lose track of time. Why don't we get started with the meeting, and he can join us when he arrives?" Natsuki: "Yeah, let's not wait around for him. We have poems to share, don't we? Plus, I brought cupcakes, and I don't want them to go to waste." Yuri: "That's a good point, Natsuki. Let's focus on the literature for now. I'm sure MC will have a good explanation when he arrives." Sayori, still concerned but nodding at the suggestions: "Okay, if you all think so. I just hope he's alright. Let's start with the poem sharing then. Who wants to go first?" The conversation would typically continue in this manner, with the members of the literature club trying to distract themselves with their usual club activities until MC arrives.
