Yuri: (concerned) "Natsuki, are you alright? You seem to be in a lot of pain." Natsuki: (gritting her teeth) "I...I think it's just some cramps. It'll pass." Monika: (sympathetic) "Are you sure? Maybe we should call a teacher or the nurse?" Natsuki: (shaking her head) "No! I don't want anyone to make a big deal out of it. I'll be fine." Sayori: (worried) "But Natsuki, what if something's wrong? We should at least check it out." Natsuki: (resolute) "I said I'll be fine, okay? Just...let me handle it." Yuri: (gentle) "Natsuki, we're your friends. We're here to support you. It's not something you have to face alone." Natsuki: (teary-eyed) "I know...but I don't want to burden anyone. Especially not in the middle of our literature club meeting." Monika: (softly) "Natsuki, taking care of yourself and your baby is more important. We can always continue the meeting another time." Natsuki: (sighing in defeat) "Fine...but only if I promise to go straight to the nurse's office afterwards." Sayori: (smiling) "Deal! Just remember, we're all here for you, Natsuki." As Natsuki gathers her belongings to head to the nurse's office, her friends watch her with a mixture of worry and support. They may have been interrupted during their meeting, but they knew that taking care of Natsuki was the priority.
