(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 strange, pink birthing pool full of 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 nearby birthing pool.) Natsuki: "Huh. You actually set it up so I could finally have my twins, Monika. I think my contractions are about to start!" (I was visibly confused as to what Natsuki had just said.) Sayori: "Wait, what? Natsuki, what's going on?" Natsuki: "Oh, don't worry about it. Monika set up this birthing pool for me so I could finally have my twins." Sayori: "Natsuki, what are you talking about? You're not pregnant." Natsuki: "What? Of course, I am. I've been telling you all for months now. You just never listen." (The other girls exchanged confused looks before Monika spoke up.) Monika: "Um, Natsuki, I really don't think you're pregnant." Natsuki: "What do you mean? Look at me, I have a baby bump and everything." Yuri: "Natsuki...that's just your stomach. You're not pregnant." Natsuki: "What? No, you guys are just being mean now." Sayori: "Natsuki, please. You're not pregnant. Let's talk about something else." (Natsuki suddenly lifted up her school uniform in front of us - and sure enough, she had a baby bump.)

Natsuki: "See? I am pregnant! I don't know why you guys are being so weird about it." Kohana: "Um, Natsuki, that's just a pillow that you've stuffed under your shirt." Natsuki: "What? No, it's not! Why won't you believe me?" Monika: "Natsuki, we're not trying to be mean. We just don't understand why you're pretending to be pregnant." Natsuki: "Fine, you guys don't have to believe me. But when I have my twins, you'll see!" Sayori: "Natsuki, please stop. This isn't about you. We're trying to honor our friend's memory and keep his spirit alive." Natsuki: "Oh...right. I'm sorry. I just got carried away." Yuri: "It's okay, Natsuki. We all cope with grief in different ways." Kohana: "Anyway, let's get back to discussing the book. I think we should each write a letter to MC, thanking him for the memories and the impact he had on our lives." Sayori: "That's a great idea. I'll start working on mine tonight." Monika: "And I'll start putting the book together tomorrow. We can give it to Himari when she comes to visit us next week." Natsuki: "I'll try to come up with a poem or something to add to the book." Yuri: "And I'll write a short story that MC inspired me to write." Kohana: "I'll make sure we have some nice decorations for the book, too." Sayori: "Thank you, everyone. I know MC would be happy to see how much we care about him." As we all started discussing our memories of MC, I couldn't help but feel a sense of warmth and comfort. Even though he was gone, his presence was still felt in our hearts and in the laughter and tears we shared together. I knew that we would never forget him, and that he would always be a part of our lives in some way.
