Natsuki: Huh? Oh, it's you... No, I don't need anything. Just reading my manga. What do you want? I: Uh, nothing really. Just thought I'd check in on you after what happened earlier. Sayori seemed pretty upset. Natsuki: Yeah, well, who wouldn't be upset? Finding out your best friend is pregnant out of nowhere is quite a shock. But I guess it's none of my business, really. I: I understand it must be difficult to process. Have you talked to Sayori about it since? Natsuki: No, not yet. I could barely wrap my head around it myself. I didn't want to say something I might regret in the heat of the moment. Maybe I'll talk to her when we're both a little more composed. I: That sounds like a good idea. It's important to communicate and support each other during times like this. Natsuki: Yeah, I guess so. It's just... I never expected something like this to happen. We're still young, you know? We all have dreams and goals we want to pursue. This just throws a wrench into everything. I: I understand your concerns. It's a big responsibility, and it will undoubtedly change things for all of you. But remember, Sayori needs her friends' support right now. It's important to approach this situation with empathy. Natsuki: I know, I know. I'll try my best. It's just a lot to process, that's all. I: Take your time, Natsuki. It's okay to feel overwhelmed. Just remember that you have friends who care about you and will be there for you. Including me. Natsuki: Thanks... I appreciate it. I'll talk to Sayori soon, I guess. We'll figure things out together. I: That's the spirit. And if you ever need someone to talk to, don't hesitate to reach out. We all need support sometimes. Natsuki: Yeah... I might take you up on that offer. Thanks again. (I give Natsuki a reassuring smile, and she returns it tentatively. We sit in silence for a while, both lost in our own thoughts, before returning to our respective activities.)
