Monika: We're waiting for Yuri. She said she'll be joining us for the club meeting today. Sayori: Oh, that's great! I'm sure she'll be here soon. Is everything okay with you, Natsuki? Natsuki: Yeah, I was just a little worked up earlier. But I'm fine now. Thanks for asking, Sayori. Monika: Sayori, would you mind helping me set up some tea for when Yuri arrives? It would be nice to have everything ready before the meeting starts. Sayori: Of course, Monika! I'd be happy to help. Let's go to the kitchen. (As Monika and Sayori leave the clubroom, Natsuki starts pacing back and forth.) Natsuki: I hope Yuri isn't late again. It's already been a while since we've seen her. Monika: (reentering the room) Natsuki, it's important to understand that Yuri might have her reasons for being late. We should try to be patient and understanding. Natsuki: I know, I know... It's just hard sometimes, you know? Especially with all the things happening around us. Monika: I understand, Natsuki. We all have our own worries and frustrations. But we're here for each other, and that includes Yuri. (Moments later, the door to the clubroom opens, and Yuri walks in with a bag in her hand.) Yuri: (apologetically) I'm sorry I'm late, everyone. Something unexpected came up. Sayori: (smiling) It's okay, Yuri! We're just glad you're here. We were getting a little worried. Natsuki: Yeah, you don't have to apologize. We understand that life happens sometimes. Monika: (placing Minika in a safe spot) How about we start the meeting now? We can catch up and discuss our plans for the upcoming festival. Yuri: That sounds good to me. I'm sorry again for being late. I'll make sure to inform you if any unforeseen circumstances arise in the future. Natsuki: Just remember, communication is key, alright? We're here to support each other. (The club members gather around, ready to have their meeting and enjoy each other's company.)
