Yuri: (slightly out of breath) "I'm so sorry for being late, everyone. I got caught up helping the school's swim team clean up after practice." Natsuki: (sighs in relief) "Finally! Took you long enough. We've been waiting here forever." Sayori: (giggles) "It's okay, Yuri. We're just glad you're here now." Monika: (nodding) "Yes, we were worried something might have happened. But it seems like you just got held up with your good deeds." Yuri: (smiling sheepishly) "I apologize, I didn't realize how much time had passed. But I did manage to get some fresh towels for our clubroom." Natsuki: (softens her expression) "Well, at least you didn't completely forget about our meeting. Let's get started, shall we?" (As the four girls gather around a table, they begin discussing their plans for the upcoming literature festival. Despite the delayed start, they manage to make progress and enjoy each other's company.)
