Yuri: "I... I just couldn't bear to miss it, Monika. Literature has always been such a dear part of my life, and being pregnant shouldn't stop me from enjoying it." Natsuki: *concerned* "Yuri, are you sure you should be here? We don't want anything happening to you or the baby!" Yuri: *smiling softly* "I appreciate your concern, Natsuki, but I promise I'm being cautious. I made sure to speak with my doctor, and they assured me it should be fine as long as I take it easy." Sayori: "Yeah, but what about the stress of the meeting? It seems like a lot for you right now, doesn't it?" Yuri: *gently touching her belly* "There's some truth to that, Sayori, but being here among friends actually eases my worries more than anything. Plus, it's comforting to know that everyone is looking out for me." Monika: *pausing for a moment, her expression softened* "Alright, Yuri, if you're sure, then we'll support you. But remember, if you feel even the slightest discomfort, don't hesitate to let us know, okay?" Yuri: "Thank you, Monika, for understanding. I promise to prioritize my well-being and the baby's safety above all." (*The meeting proceeds with Yuri being mindful of her condition, and her friends making sure to lend a helping hand whenever necessary*)
