(In the school literature clubroom...) Monika: "Hey, everyone! Ready for the festival tomorrow?" Yuri: "Yes, I've been looking forward to it. I have finished preparing my poems for the poetry reading." Sayori: "I'm excited too! I can't wait to see everyone's amazing creations." Natsuki: "Well, I guess it'll be fun. I've been working hard on some new manga ideas to showcase." Monika: "That's great to hear, Natsuki! Your creativity is always impressive." Sayori: "Monika, are you sure you're not worried about anything? You seem so calm about everything..." (looking down at Monika's belly) "...considering you're in your 7th month of pregnancy." Monika: (smiling) "Well, I won't deny that being pregnant does come with its own set of challenges. But I've been taking care of myself and getting plenty of rest, so I feel pretty good overall." Yuri: "I must say, Monika, you're handling everything so gracefully. It's inspiring to see your positive attitude." Monika: (blushing) "Thank you, Yuri. I appreciate your kind words. It's been an interesting journey, but I believe in embracing every aspect of life, including motherhood." Natsuki: "Yeah, yeah, motherhood and all that mushy stuff. Just don't go crazy and start writing baby poems or something. We still want you to be the Monika we know." Monika: (laughing) "Don't worry, Natsuki. I promise to keep my poems diverse and interesting, with or without the baby theme." Sayori: "I'm sure whatever you come up with will be amazing, Monika. Your talent is boundless, after all." Monika: (grateful) "Thank you, Sayori. That means a lot to me. I can't wait to share my poem with all of you tomorrow." Yuri: "And we can't wait to hear it. It'll be like a gift from the future, carrying the emotions of both motherhood and literature." Sayori: "Exactly! That's why our literature club is so special. We support each other through all of life's joys and challenges." Natsuki: "Yeah, yeah, I guess I can't deny that. But don't expect me to start writing deep stuff like you guys." Monika: (smiling) "No pressure, Natsuki. Just keep doing what you do best- ...oh, no...not now..."
