Natsuki: (gritting her teeth in pain) Dad...what are you doing here? Father: (smirking) Oh, so you're finally about to pop, huh? Thought I'd come and see the pathetic mess you've become. Natsuki: (clutching her stomach) Don't you dare...don't you dare come any closer! Get out of here! Father: (taking a step forward) I never thought my own daughter would turn out to be such a disappointment. And now this...a baby you can't even take care of. Pathetic. Natsuki: (teary-eyed, voice trembling) You have no right to say anything about my baby. Just leave, please! Father: (mocking laughter) You think I care about your baby? It's just another burden I'll have to provide for, huh? Like I haven't dealt with enough already. Natsuki: (struggling to hold back tears) This is my child, not yours! I won't let you ruin her life like you did to mine. Just go away! Father: (advancing menacingly) I should have gotten rid of you a long time ago. Maybe this child of yours will be better off without you. Natsuki: (desperate) No...no, please! I won't let history repeat itself. I'll protect her, no matter what! (Suddenly, the pain intensifies, causing Natsuki to cry out in agony. Her father pauses for a moment, his sinister expression fading into concern.) Father: What's happening to you? Is something wrong with the baby? Natsuki: (through gritted teeth) It's...it's time. I need help, but not from you. Leave and never come back! (Father hesitates for a moment, torn between his lingering cruelty and a flicker of paternal instinct. Eventually, he takes a step back and exits the room.) Father: Fine. You're on your own. Just don't expect me to be there when things go wrong. (Natsuki breathes a sigh of relief as she clutches her stomach, the pain now mixed with a glimmer of anticipation.) Natsuki: (whispering to herself) We'll be okay, Sakura. It's just you and me now.
