(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. I was thoroughly confused as to why.) Natsuki: "Well...it's certainly helping. If only a little. Ooh..."
