(As I sat by the hospital bed, I couldn't believe what was happening. MC, my childhood friend, was dying. Ever since he got in that accident, I was praying that he would be okay. And then, I took one last look at me.) MC: "Sayori...you were the best friend I've had since childhood. And...tell my little sister Himari that I'll miss her." (Tears rolled down my cheek as I looked into MC's eyes.) Sayori: "Thank you, MC. I'll do my best for you. Himari will miss you too, but she'll always remember you in her heart." MC: "I'm glad. And please, don't forget about me. Remember the good times we had together, and keep smiling, okay?" Sayori: "I won't forget you, MC. I promise. And I'll try to keep smiling for you." (MC weakly gave me a smile before he closed his eyes for the final time. I held onto his hand, not wanting to let go. It was a painful goodbye, but I knew that MC was at peace now. I silently made a vow to always cherish his memory and to never forget the impact he had on my life. The day after his funeral, I went back to the clubroom. I could see some of the other girls - namely Yuri, Monika, Himari, and Kohana - all discussing something. But the strange, pink birthing pool full of water is a little odd - why is it here? And where was Natsuki?) Sayori: "Hey, girls. What's going on?" Yuri: "Oh, Sayori. We were just discussing something important." Monika: "Yes, we were thinking about how we could honor MC's memory." Sayori: "That's a great idea. What were you thinking?" Kohana: "Well, we thought that we could create a special book filled with our memories of MC." Sayori: "That's a wonderful idea. I would love to be a part of it." Yuri: "And we thought that we could dedicate it to your child, Sayori. As a way for them to know what kind of person MC was." Sayori: "Thank you, that means a lot to me." (Just then, Natsuki walked in, and immediately got into the nearby birthing pool. But as to what the pool was doing here was still a mystery to me.) Sayori: "Natsuki, what's with the pool?" Natsuki: "Oh, it's just something my dad brought home from work. He said it was for a new experiment, but I don't really know. It's kind of cool to just sit in it." Sayori: "Well, be careful not to splash water on the books when they arrive." Natsuki: "Don't worry, I'll make sure to keep it contained- OW!" (Suddenly, Natsuki winced in pain.) Sayori: "What's wrong?" Natsuki: "I don't know... it feels like a cramp..." (Suddenly, Natsuki's water broke, and she let out a gasp.) Kohana: "Oh no, Natsuki. It looks like you're going into labor." Yuri: "Quick, someone call for an ambulance." Natsuki: "N-N-N-N-N-No...I think I'd like to have a water birth. Right here...right now!"
