Monika: (rubbing her back) Ugh, these wings...they feel different today. They're not as fiery as usual. I hope everything's okay. Natsuki: (excitedly) Come on, Monika! Don't ruin the mood! It's time for the big reveal! I can't wait to find out if Sakura is going to be a little angel like me or a mischievous little devil like her dad! Monika: (forcing a smile) You're right, Natsuki. I'm just being paranoid. Let's get this party started! (Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Sayori struggles to find the blood that Yuri requested.) Yuri: (calling from the clubroom) Sayori, where is that glass of blood? I can't possibly serve Sakura's guests without it! Sayori: (frustrated) I know, I know! It's just...we're all mythical creatures here, and I can't believe how difficult it is to find quality blood in this town! (Behind the clubroom door, a voice can be heard.) Voice: Did somebody say blood? (Sayori opens the door to see a tall, mysterious figure standing there with a bag of blood packs.) Sayori: (surprised) Whoa, where did you come from? And how did you know we needed blood? Mysterious Figure: (smirks) Let's just say I have my ways of finding what I need. So, you're Sayori, the dragonborn vice-president, huh? Sayori: (blushing) Ah, yes! That's me! But who are you? And how did you know my name? Mysterious Figure: Call me Drake. And I have my sources. I also heard that the literature club was hosting a baby gender reveal today. Mind if I join the festivities? Sayori: (hesitant) Um, I guess it's fine...just don't do anything weird, okay? (Drake enters the clubroom, holding the bag of blood.) Drake: Fear not, fair creatures! I bring forth the precious liquid for our dear Yuri. Yuri: (grateful) Thank you, Drake. Your timing couldn't be more perfect. (Meanwhile, back in the clubroom, Monika's wings continue to feel off.) Monika: (whispering to herself) What is going on with my wings? Something doesn't feel right. I need to find out what's happening. (She discreetly excuses herself from the party and heads towards an empty classroom.) Monika: (looking at herself in the mirror) Maybe if I try channeling my inner phoenix energy, I can get my wings to return to normal. (She closes her eyes, focusing on her phoenix heritage, and slowly her wings start to regain their fiery glow.) Monika: (relieved) Ah, that's much better. I guess it was just a momentary glitch. (Unbeknownst to Monika, a shadowy figure watches her from outside the classroom door.) ???: (whispering) So, Monika isn't as invincible as she seems. Interesting... (As the clubroom continues with the gender reveal, little do they know that a new, mysterious presence has entered their lives, bringing with them countless questions and unknown dangers.)
