(In the school literature clubroom...) Monika: "MC, that was a great poem!" MC: "Thanks, Monika! I worked really hard on it. I'm glad you liked it." Yuri: "I have to agree, MC. Your writing has improved so much since you joined the club. It's quite impressive." Natsuki: (rolls her eyes) "Yeah, yeah, whatever. I guess it was okay. Nothing special, though." MC: (smiling) "Thanks, Yuri. I appreciate your kind words. And Natsuki, I know poetry might not be your thing, but I'm glad you gave it a chance." Monika: "That's right! We should always support each other's creative efforts. That's what the literature club is all about. And Sayori, are you okay? Judging from the size of your baby bump, you're practically ready to pop..." Sayori: (giggles) "Monika, you always know how to lighten the mood. But yes, I'm doing alright. Just a few more weeks to go. And thank you all for being so supportive during this time. It means a lot to me." (feeling a kick) "Aww...Sachiko, are you kicking for Mama? You really know how to make Mama happy, do you?" Natsuki: (softens her expression) "Sayori, that's so sweet. I'm glad you're doing well. And as much as I tease, I'm here for you too, you know?" Yuri: "Yes, Sayori. We're all here to support you throughout your pregnancy. It's an exciting time, and we're all eager to meet little Sachiko." MC: (places a hand on Sayori's belly) "You're going to be an amazing mom, Sayori. Sachiko is lucky to have you as her parent, and we're lucky to have you as our friend." Sayori: "Oh, MC...Sachiko won't just have me as a parent. She'll have you as a parent, too."
