Yuri: (relieved) "Oh, Sayori, we were waiting for Natsuki. She's usually here before us." Sayori: (concerned) "Hmm, that is strange. Maybe she got held up or something." Monika: "I hope she's okay. It's not like Natsuki to be late without letting us know." Yuri: "Should we text her and make sure everything is alright?" Sayori: "That's a good idea, Yuri! Let's send her a message and see if she responds." (Monika takes out her phone and sends a text to Natsuki while they wait anxiously for a response.) Monika: "I sent her a message. Now let's hope she replies soon." (As they wait, the club members start sharing their concerns about Natsuki's well-being.) Yuri: "I hope she's not ill or in any trouble. Natsuki may be stubborn, but she never misses club activities like this." Sayori: "I'll visit her house after the club meeting if we still can't reach her. Maybe she's just forgotten her phone or something." Monika: "Sounds like a plan, Sayori. Let's give her a little more time, though. She might show up any moment." (Just as Monika finishes her sentence, Natsuki hurriedly bursts into the clubroom, slightly out of breath.) Natsuki: (panting) "Sorry I'm late, guys. I got held up with some family stuff." Sayori: "Natsuki, thank goodness you're alright! We were so worried about you!" Yuri: (relieved) "Yes, we're glad you made it. But next time, please let us know if you're going to be late." Natsuki: "I will, don't worry. Sorry for making you all worry. Can we start the club meeting now?" Monika: "Of course, Natsuki. Let's get started. We're just glad you're here and safe." (The club members settle down, relieved that Natsuki is safe and ready to begin their activities for the day.)
