Yuri: "Ah, Sayori! We're waiting for Natsuki. She's been absent the past few club meetings, and we're getting concerned." Monika: "Yeah, it's not like her to miss club activities without letting us know. We hope she's alright." Sayori: "Oh no, that's concerning. Maybe we should try calling or messaging her to see if everything's okay?" Yuri: "I've already tried messaging her, but I haven't received a response yet." Monika: "I agree, let's try calling her as well. It's better to be safe than sorry." (Sayori takes out her phone and dials Natsuki's number. They anxiously wait for her to answer.) Sayori: (voice trembling) "Hello? Natsuki? Are you there?" (There's a brief pause before they hear Natsuki's voice on the other end.) Natsuki: (sounding upset) "Hey... sorry I've been absent. Things have been tough lately, and I didn't want to burden anyone." Yuri: "Natsuki, you're not a burden to us. We're a club, we support each other through thick and thin." Monika: "Please, Natsuki, could you come to the clubroom? We want to talk and help you through whatever you're going through." Natsuki: (hesitant) "I... I appreciate that. I'll be there soon." (Sayori hangs up the call and turns to Yuri and Monika with a concerned look.) Sayori: "Natsuki sounds really upset. I hope we can help her feel better." Yuri: "I hope so too. Let's be there for her when she arrives." (The club members wait patiently, their worries and concerns growing as they anticipate Natsuki's arrival.)
