Monika: "Natsuki is always punctual, though. It's not like her to be late without at least sending a message. And she was really excited about sharing her new poem today." MC: "Do you think something might have happened on her way here or at home?" Sayori: "Now I'm even more worried! What if she's in trouble?" Yuri: "Let's not assume the worst just yet. There could be a number of benign reasons for her tardiness. Perhaps it would be prudent to reach out to her again." Monika: "I agree with Yuri. I'll try calling her. Maybe we missed a text or something." (Monika pulls out her phone and attempts to contact Natsuki while the rest of the club members wait anxiously.)
