(In the school literature clubroom...) Natsuki: (angrily glancing at Yuri's baby bump) "Well, it took YOU long enough to get here. Where the hell WERE you, Yuri?!" Yuri: (calmly) "Sorry for being late, Natsuki. I had a doctor's appointment earlier. You know, prenatal check-ups and all that." Natsuki: (rolls her eyes) "Being 7 months into your pregnancy doesn't give you a free pass to be late all the time, you know. We have a schedule to follow." Yuri: (smiling gently) "I understand, Natsuki. But I couldn't control the timing of my appointment. It's for the well-being of the baby and myself. I hope you can understand that."

We need to call an ambulance. This isn't something we can handle on our own." Yuri: (grasping Natsuki's hand) "I...I can't...the pain..." Natsuki: (dialing emergency services) "Stay with me, Yuri. Help is on the way. Just try to breathe. Deep breaths, alright?" Yuri: (nodding, tears streaming down her face) "O-Okay, Natsuki. Th-"
