(As I sat by the hospital bed, I couldn't believe what was happening. MC, my childhood friend, was dying. Ever since he got in that accident, I was praying that he would be okay. And then, I took one last look at me.) MC: "Sayori...you were the best friend I've had since childhood. And...tell my little sister Himari that I'll miss her." (Tears rolled down my cheek as I looked into MC's eyes.) Sayori: "Thank you, MC. I'll do my best for you. Himari will miss you too, but she'll always remember you in her heart." MC: "I'm glad. And please, don't forget about me. Remember the good times we had together, and keep smiling, okay?" Sayori: "I won't forget you, MC. I promise. And I'll try to keep smiling for you." (MC weakly gave me a smile before he closed his eyes for the final time. I held onto his hand, not wanting to let go. It was a painful goodbye, but I knew that MC was at peace now. I silently made a vow to always cherish his memory and to never forget the impact he had on my life. The day after his funeral, I went back to the clubroom. I could see some of the other girls - namely Yuri, Monika, Himari, and Kohana - all discussing something. But the nearby pool full of warm water is a little odd - why is it here? And where was Natsuki?) Sayori: "Hey, girls. What's going on?" Yuri: "Oh, Sayori. We were just discussing something important." Monika: "Yes, we were thinking about how we could honor MC's memory." Sayori: "That's a great idea. What were you thinking?" Kohana: "Well, we thought that we could create a special book filled with our memories of MC." Sayori: "That's a wonderful idea." (Just then, Natsuki walked in, and immediately got into the pool. I was visibly confused as to why. But what confused me even more was her response.) Natsuki: "Well...it certainly helps with the birthing pains. Ooh...I think I feel the head coming through!" (I stared at Natsuki, not sure of what to say.)
