(In the school literature clubroom...) Monika: "Um...has anyone seen Yuri? Last time I saw her, she had a baby bump so big she could pop at any moment." Sayori: "Oh, really? I haven't seen her yet today. Maybe she's feeling a bit tired and decided to take the day off?" Natsuki: "I doubt it. Knowing Yuri, she's probably lost in one of her obscure books again. She can get so engrossed that hours just fly by." Monika: "That could be. But her pregnancy is quite far along now. We should make sure she's alright." (Meanwhile, at Yuri's place...) Yuri: "Jeez, it's so hard to walk around with this baby bump...I hate being 7 months pregnant. I hope my water doesn't break on my way to the clubroom." (Yuri slowly makes her way to the clubroom, gripping the handle of her umbrella tightly for support. With each step, she feels a mixture of excitement and anxiety.) Yuri: "Alright, just a few more steps...I hope everyone is understanding about my situation." (She finally reaches the clubroom door and takes a deep breath before opening it. The sight of Monika, Sayori, and Natsuki sitting inside immediately catches her attention.) Sayori: "Yuri!" Monika: "Oh, thank goodness you're here. We were getting worried." Natsuki: "Took you long enough. Were you too busy reading to notice the time?" Yuri: (sheepishly) "I apologize for being late. It's just...being pregnant has been quite challenging." Natsuki: "Duh, that's kind of how it works. But still, you're lucky we care enough to worry about you." Monika: "Natsuki, be nice. Yuri, it must be difficult for you. Is there anything we can do to help?" (Sayori quickly hops up from her seat and offers it to Yuri.) Sayori: "Here, Yuri. Sit down and rest. We can handle the club activities for today. You need to take care of yourself and the baby." (Yuri gratefully accepts the seat, sighing in relief as she eases herself onto it.) Yuri: "Thank you, everyone. It means a lot to me." Monika: "Not a problem, Yuri. We're a team, after all." (The club members carry on with their activities, making sure to take breaks for Yuri to rest and hydrate. As the meeting ends, they all agree to accompany Yuri home.) Sayori: "We can't have you walking alone with that baby bump. It's important to prioritize your safety." Natsuki: "Yeah, didn't think I'd be saying this, but I don't want you falling and hurting yourself either." (Yuri smiles at her friends, feeling a sense of warmth and support unlike anything she's experienced before.) Yuri: "Thank you, all of you. I'm grateful to have such caring friends." Monika: "That's what friends are for, Yuri. We're here for you, every step of the way-" Yuri: (clutching her baby bump tightly) "A-AHH!!!" (The room falls silent as everyone's attention snaps to Yuri.) Monika: "Yuri, what's wrong?" Yuri: "M-my contractions are starting! It's time!" (The club room erupts into a frenzy of panic and excitement. Monika quickly dials the emergency number while Natsuki and Sayori help Yuri to her feet.) Monika: "Stay calm, everyone. An ambulance is on its way. Yuri, just breathe and try to relax." (Yuri nods, attempting to steady her breathing as tears of both pain and anticipation fill her eyes.) Sayori: "You're doing great, Yuri. Just focus on your deep breaths." Natsuki: "Can you stand enough to walk, or should we carry you to the entrance?" Yuri: "I-I think I can manage. Just give me a m-" (clutching her baby bump tighter) "AAAAAAAAAHHH!!! They're getting stronger" (The club members quickly gather around Yuri, supporting her as she begins to feel the intensity of contractions.) Monika: "Alright, Yuri, we need to get you to the entrance. Take it slow and steady, and we'll help you every step of the way." (Yuri clenches her fists as another contraction hits, taking slow and careful steps with the support of her friends.) Yuri: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!! IT'S COMING!!!" (Sayori's eyes widen in concern.) Sayori: "We need to speed things up! Yuri, we're here with you. Just a few more steps, and we'll get you to the ambul-"
