(As I walked to the clubroom, I couldn't believe what happened yesterday. MC, my childhood friend, had died. The news hit me like a ton of bricks. And as I entered the clubroom, I could see Monika and Himari discussing something. Kotonhoa was also there, and was moving a strange pool - it was round and pink. Yuri was there, too - she was filling the pool with warm water. I was confused as to what they were doing, but was even more confused as to where Natsuki was.) Yuri: "And...that should be everything!" Monika: "Great job, Yuri. I'll set up the decorations now." Himari: "I'm so excited for this pool party! It's going to be so much fun!" Kotonoha: "I hope everyone likes my special punch!" (I cleared my throat to let them know I was there.) Sayori: (trying to keep my voice steady) "Hey guys." (They all turned to look at me with sad expressions.) Monika: "Sayori, how are you holding up?" Sayori: "I'm...not doing well. MC's death is still a really hard pill to swallow." Yuri: "We understand, Sayori. We're all grieving. But we thought it might be good to distract ourselves with a pool party." Himari: "Yeah! We'll have food, drinks, music, and swimming! It'll be a blast!" Kotonoha: "And don't forget my special punch! It's delicious!" Sayori: (forcing a smile) "That sounds like a lot of fun. But...I'm not sure I'm in the mood to party." Monika: "We understand, Sayori. But please, try to have some fun. It's what MC would have wanted." Sayori: (nodding slowly) "Yeah...you're right. MC was always the life of the party. He wouldn't want us moping around." Himari: "That's the spirit! Now, let's get this party started!" Yuri: "Hold on. Does anybody else notice a lack of somebody?" Kotonoha: "You're right, Yuri. Where's Natsuki?" Monika: "I haven't seen her all day. Has anyone tried contacting her?" Sayori: "I texted her earlier, but she hasn't replied." Himari: "I hope she's okay." (Just then, Natsuki burst into the room - and immediately got into the pool, putting a hand on her massive belly. I was thoroughly confused as to why.) Natsuki: "Well...it's certainly helping. If only a little. Ooh..." (Everyone stared at Natsuki in shock, wondering what was going on with her and her stomach.) Kotonoha: "Natsuki, what's wrong?" Natsuki: "Oh, nothing. Just some contractions." All: "WHAT?!" Yuri: "Natsuki, are you in labor?!" Natsuki: "Yeah, I think so." Monika: "Oh my god! We need to get you to the hospital!" Natsuki: "N-No, I planned for this. I-I was planning a water birth ever since I was 7 months pregnant...right here, right now!" Himari: (panicking) "But Natsuki, we're not prepared for that! We don't have any medical equipment or supplies!" Natsuki: (trying to relax) "It's okay. I brought everything I need. I actually saw Monika have a water birth back when MC was alive."
CHATBOT
Sayori: "Wait, Monika had a water birth?" Monika: "Yes, I did. It was a wonderful experience. But Natsuki, are you sure about this? Shouldn't we go to the hospital?" Natsuki: "No, I want to do it here. I want my friends to be with me on this special day." Yuri: "Well, in that case, we need to make sure we have everything she needs for the birth." Kotonoha: "Right, I'll make sure we have plenty of towels and blankets." Himari: "I'll clear some space and make sure the water is at the right temperature." Monika: "I'll call the midwife and let her know the situation. Sayori, can you stay with Natsuki and make sure she's okay?" Sayori: (nodding) "Of course." (The girls quickly got to work, making sure everything was ready for Natsuki's water birth. I sat with Natsuki, trying to calm her down and assure her everything would be okay. It was a surreal moment - here we were, preparing for a pool party just minutes ago, and now we were preparing for the birth of a new life.) Natsuki: "Thanks, Sayori. You've always been a great friend." Sayori: "Of course, Natsuki. We're all here for you, no matter what." (Natsuki gave a small smile, and we waited for the midwife to arrive. As I sat there with her, I couldn't help but think about MC and how he would have been here if he were still alive. It was a bittersweet moment - the death of a friend, but the birth of a new life. And as we waited for the midwife, I was filled with a sense of hope and excitement for what the future held.)
