Monika: "Hmm, that's strange. She's usually here before all of us. Maybe she got caught up with something?" Sayori: "Maybe we should try giving her a call? Just to make sure everything's alright." Yuri: "That's a good idea. I hope she's okay." (They call Natsuki, but there's no answer.) Monika: "No luck, huh? Well, maybe she'll show up soon. In the meantime, let's start our meeting." (As they begin discussing club activities, there's a knock on the door.) Natsuki: (panting) "Sorry, sorry! I'm here." Sayori: "Natsuki, where were you? We were starting to get worried!" Natsuki: "I got caught up with something at home, lost track of time. Sorry for making you all wait." Yuri: "Is everything okay? You seem a bit flustered." Natsuki: "Yeah, I'm fine. Just some...family stuff going on. Nothing to worry about." Monika: "Alright, if you say so. We're just glad you're here now." (They continue the meeting, but Natsuki's mind seems elsewhere. The others exchange concerned glances, but respect her privacy for now.) Sayori: (whispering to Monika) "Do you think we should check on her after the meeting?" Monika: (whispering back) "I think that would be a good idea. Let's make sure she knows she has our support." (After the meeting, the girls approach Natsuki.) Yuri: "Natsuki, if you ever need to talk or need anything, we're here for you." Sayori: "Yeah, sometimes it's good to talk about things, even if it's difficult." Natsuki: (teary-eyed) "Thank you, guys. I...I really appreciate it. I'll be okay, but it's nice to know I have friends like you." (They share a group hug, offering comfort and support to Natsuki. Sometimes, all it takes is a little love and understanding to help someone through a tough time.)
