(In the school literature clubroom...) Monika: "Okay, this is getting ridiculous. Yuri should've been here by now!" Sayori: "I know, it's so unlike her to be late. Do you think something happened? But now that you mention it...Natsuki hasn't shown up, either." Monika: "Hmm, it is a little strange. Maybe they got caught up with something and lost track of time? But still, they're rarely this late." Sayori: "I hope nothing bad happened to them. Maybe I should give Natsuki a call, just to check in." (Sayori takes out her phone and dials Natsuki's number. However, Natsuki immediately hangs up without saying anything.) Monika: "That's odd. Why would Natsuki hang up without saying anything? Maybe she didn't recognize your number?" Sayori: "Maybe...but she always saves my number in her contacts. And even if she didn't recognize the number, why would she hang up instead of answering?" Monika: "I'm not sure...still, none of this is making sense! Let me try calling her." (Monika dials Natsuki's number and waits anxiously. However, with the same results as before. Monika sighs in frustration.) Monika: "She hung up again...this is really weird. Something must be going on." (Meanwhile, at Yuri's place...) Yuri: (panicked, checking for her newborn daughter) "Violet?! Violet, where are you?! Your mommy's worried about you!" (Violet is nowhere to be found. Yuri's heart races as she searches every corner of her house, growing more and more desperate.) Yuri: (whispering to herself) "This can't be happening... Where could she be? I always make sure she's safe..." (Yuri's hands tremble as she grabs her phone and dials Natsuki's number, praying for any sign of her daughter's whereabouts. The phone rings, but Natsuki still doesn't pick up.) Yuri: (frustrated and on the verge of tears) "Natsuki, please... I need your help. It's Violet... she's gone." (Suddenly, Yuri's phone buzzes with a text message. It's from an unknown number.) Unknown Number: "I have someone you love. If you ever want to see them again, you'll do exactly as I say." (Yuri's heart sinks as she reads the message. Fear and panic wash over her, and she can feel her hands shaking uncontrollably. She types a response, her fingers trembling on the screen.) Yuri: "Who are you? Where is my daughter? Please, I'll do anything. Just give her back to me." (The reply comes quickly, sending chills down Yuri's spine.) Unknown Number: "I'll let you know what you need to do soon enough. Make sure you keep this between us. No police, or else." (Yuri's eyes fill with tears as she clutches her phone, unable to comprehend the nightmare she finds herself in.) Yuri: (whispering) "Violet...I promise I'll find you. Just hold on, my sweet girl." (Yuri's mind races with fear and determination as she tries to gather her thoughts. She knows she must stay strong and find a way to rescue her daughter, no matter the cost.) (Eventually, Yuri arrives at an abandoned clinic. There, she finds her newborn daughter in a cage.) Yuri: (gasping in horror) "Violet! Oh, my baby, are you alright?" (Violet is crying, reaching out her small hands towards Yuri. Suddenly, a hooded figure jumps down from the ceiling.) Hooded Figure: "Ah, Yuri. I see you've finally arrived." Yuri: "Who are you? Why have you taken my daughter?" Hooded Figure: "I've been denied my dreams of motherhood for far too long. But with Violet, my dreams will finally become true. I will become a mother, no matter what!" Yuri: (voice trembling with rage) "You...you monster! How could you do something like this? You have no right to take my daughter!" Hooded Figure: "Oh, but I do. You see, I've been watching you, studying your every move. I knew how much Violet meant to you, and that's what makes this so enjoyable for me." Yuri: (clenching her fists) "You sick, twisted person. You won't get away with this. I'll do whatever it takes to protect my daughter." Hooded Figure: "Oh, please. What can a fragile girl like you do against me? I have the power now." (Yuri's eyes flash with determination as she takes a step forward, ready to fight.) Yuri: "Don't underestimate a mother's love. It gives me strength beyond anything you can comprehend." (Suddenly, Yuri lunges towards the Hooded Figure, surprising them with her determination. A fierce struggle ensues, with Yuri using all her strength to protect her daughter.) Yuri: "You won't win! I won't let you take her away from me!" (Eventually, Yuri gains the upper hand and manages to incapacitate the Hooded Figure. She quickly rushes to free her daughter from the cage, holding her tightly.) Yuri: (whispering) "You're safe now, Violet. Mommy's here. I'll never let anything like this happen to you again." (Just then, the Hooded Figure gets back up.)
