Yuri: "I haven't seen her since we all went home yesterday. Do you think something happened?" Sayori: "Maybe she just overslept! You know how much she loves her morning naps." Monika: "That's true, but she's never been this late before. I'm starting to get worried." Yuri: "Well, we could try calling her. Maybe she just forgot about our meeting this morning." Sayori: "Good idea! Let's try giving her a call." (They all take their phones out and dial Natsuki's number. It goes straight to voicemail.) Monika: "It's going straight to voicemail. That's not a good sign." Yuri: "Do you think we should go to her house and check on her?" Sayori: "I think that's the best course of action. We can't just sit here and worry." (They all gather their things and head towards Natsuki's house. When they arrive, they notice that the front door is slightly ajar.) Monika: "That's strange. Natsuki always locks her door. Let's go in and see if she's okay." (They cautiously walk into Natsuki's house and make their way to her room. As they open the door, they find Natsuki sitting on the floor, a pile of torn papers scattered around her.) Sayori: "Natsuki? Are you okay?" Natsuki: (sniffling) "I- I'm sorry. I just... I couldn't handle it anymore." Yuri: "Handle what? What happened, Natsuki?" Natsuki: "I... I was trying to write a poem for today's meeting, but no matter what I did, it just felt wrong. It felt like everything I wrote was horrible, and I couldn't take it anymore." Monika: "Natsuki, writing can be tough sometimes, but it doesn't mean you're horrible. We've all been there." Sayori: "Yeah! Remember when I wrote that poem about a sunny day, but it turned into a poem about pancakes? We all make mistakes!" Yuri: "And even if you're struggling with writing now, it doesn't mean you can't improve. We're here to support you, Natsuki." Natsuki: (sniffles) "You guys... I'm sorry for worrying you. I just... I wanted to impress everyone with my writing, but I guess I let my insecurities get the best of me." Monika: "Natsuki, you don't have to impress anyone. We're all in this club because we love writing and sharing our passion. It's not a competition." Sayori: "Yeah! And even if you think your writing isn't perfect, it's still valid and important. Your words matter, Natsuki." Yuri: "We're here to help each other grow as writers, not tear each other down. Don't be so hard on yourself." Natsuki: (wiping her tears) "Thank you, guys. I needed to hear that. I'm sorry for making a scene." Monika: "No need to apologize, Natsuki. We just wanted to make sure you were okay. We're here for you, always." (Slowly, Natsuki's frown turns into a small smile as she feels the warmth and support from her friends. In that moment, the literature clubroom feels a little brighter and a little more welcoming.)
