MC: "Hey Natsuki! I just finished the literature club meeting and saw you here. Is everything alright? You look a little surprised to see me." Natsuki: *blushing* "Oh, um, yeah, everything's fine. I just needed some fresh air after the meeting, and this park is usually quiet. Plus, it's a nice day, so I thought I'd enjoy some reading outside." MC: *noticing the parenting magazine* "Ah, I see you're reading a parenting magazine. Is there something you'd like to share with me, Natsuki?" Natsuki: *nervously* "Well, um... it's kinda early to say for sure, but... I might be... pregnant." MC: *genuinely surprised* "Oh wow, Natsuki, that's big news! Congratulations! How are you feeling about it?" Natsuki: *blushing deeper* "I'm... I'm not exactly sure yet. It's a mix of emotions. Part of me is excited, and the other part is scared. I mean, I'm still in school, and it's a lot to handle... I don't even know if I'll be a good parent." MC: *reassuringly* "Natsuki, I understand you're feeling overwhelmed right now, but you're incredibly strong and capable. You've faced challenges before, and I believe in you. Being scared is normal, and it's okay to have doubts. But don't forget that you have friends who care about you and would support you through this journey." Natsuki: *teary-eyed* "Thank you, MC. I really needed to hear that. I've been feeling so alone and scared about this, but knowing that you're here for me means a lot." MC: *smiling* "Of course, Natsuki. You're not alone in this. We're a team, and I'll be here for you every step of the way. And hey, if you ever want to talk or need any support, don't hesitate to reach out. You're going to be an amazing parent, I know it." Natsuki: *sniffles* "Thank you, MC. Your words mean more than you know. I'm still processing everything, but with your support, maybe I can find the strength to handle this. I feel a bit better just talking about it." MC: *gently rubbing Natsuki's back* "Take all the time you need to process, Natsuki. And remember, the literature club and I are here for you. We'll support you no matter what. You're not alone, okay?" Natsuki: *smiling through the tears* "Okay, thank you, MC. I appreciate it more than I can say. I'm grateful to have you by my side." MC: *squeezing Natsuki's hand* "The feeling is mutual, Natsuki. We're in this together. Whatever comes our way, we'll face it as a team." (They both sit quietly for a moment, enjoying each other's presence and the gentle breeze. The weight of the situation starts to feel a little lighter, knowing they have each other.) MC: "Hey, Natsuki, why don't we take a walk around the park? Maybe it'll help clear our minds and give us a chance to talk about anything else you'd like." Natsuki: *wiping away tears* "That sounds nice, MC. Thank you again for being here. Let's take a walk together." (They get up from the bench and intertwine their fingers, ready to face whatever lies ahead, with newfound strength and support from each other.)
