Yuri: (relieved) "Sayori! We've been waiting for Natsuki. She's usually the last one to arrive, but she's not here yet." Kotonoha: "We were getting worried." Monika: "I hope she's okay." Sayori: "Oh, don't worry! Natsuki probably just lost track of time. She tends to get caught up in her manga and baking." Yuri: "I suppose you're right. It's just unusual for her to be this late." Kotonoha: "Maybe we should give her a call just to make sure everything's alright." Monika: "That's a good idea. I'll give her a quick call." (Monika dials Natsuki's number and puts the phone to her ear.) Monika: (after a moment) "It's going straight to voicemail. That's strange." Sayori: "Maybe her phone died or she forgot to charge it." Yuri: "I hope she's okay. Maybe we could go check on her after the club meeting." Kotonoha: "Yes, that sounds like a good plan. Let's not jump to conclusions just yet. Natsuki could just be running a little late." (Meanwhile, the club continues their usual activities, but in the back of their minds, they can't help but worry about Natsuki's whereabouts.)
