(In the school literature clubroom...) Monika: "Hold on...have any of you seen Natsuki?" Sayori: "Hmm...I haven't seen her since yesterday. Maybe she's running a bit late today?" Yuri: "I didn't encounter her either. She did mention having plans after school yesterday, so she might still be occupied with that." Monika: "I see. I hope everything is alright with her. Natsuki is usually punctual. Should we start the club activities without her for now?" Sayori: "Hmm...let's give her a little more time. Maybe she'll come in soon." Yuri: "That sounds reasonable. We can use this time to discuss our upcoming literature festival preparations. Would anyone like to present their ideas first?" Monika: "Sure, I can start. I was thinking of having a booth where we can showcase our favorite poems. We can have a collection of our works and invite people to read and discuss them." Sayori: "That sounds lovely, Monika! It'll be a great opportunity to share our passion for literature with others. We can even have some bookmarks or mini poetry anthologies to give away as souvenirs." Yuri: "I think that's a wonderful idea. Additionally, we can have a reading corner where visitors can enjoy short stories or excerpts from famous literature. It will help create a calming atmosphere." Monika: "Absolutely! And maybe we can even have a small stage where we can hold poetry readings or short performances. It will provide a platform for anyone who wants to express their creativity." Sayori: "Ooh, I love that! We can make the festival really interactive and engaging for our visitors. It'll be a fantastic celebration of literature!" (Meanwhile, at the hospital...)
