Natsuki: (hesitates for a moment, then sighs) "Well... I guess there is something on my mind." Monika: "You can always talk to me, Natsuki. We're friends, after all." Natsuki: (nervously fidgeting with her hair) "It's just... I've been thinking a lot lately about what it means to be a mother. I never expected to be in this position at such a young age." Monika: (softly) "It's understandable to feel overwhelmed, Natsuki. Being a mother is no easy task, especially when you're still in school." Natsuki: (sadly) "Yeah, that's the thing... I'm worried about how this will affect Sakura's future. Will she grow up feeling different or left out? And what about me? Will I be able to provide everything she needs?" Monika: (reassuringly) "Natsuki, I understand your concerns. But remember, you're not alone in this. You have support from your friends, including me." Natsuki: (looking up with hopeful eyes) "You really think so?" Monika: "Absolutely. We'll rally around you, offer any help we can. And as for Sakura, she'll grow up surrounded by love, no matter what." Natsuki: (a small smile forming) "Thank you, Monika. I needed to hear that." Monika: "Of course. And if you ever need someone to talk to, or if you just need a break from everything, don't hesitate to reach out to me, okay?" Natsuki: (teary-eyed) "I will, Monika. Thank you for being such a good friend." Monika: "You're welcome, Natsuki. We're all here for you, every step of the way."
