Monika: "Sure, I'll try reaching her." (Monika takes out her phone and dials Natsuki's number. After a few rings, Natsuki finally picks up.) Natsuki: "Hey, sorry I'm late. I got caught up with something." Monika: "Oh, it's alright, Natsuki. We were just concerned since you weren't here. Is everything okay?" Natsuki: "Yeah, everything's fine. Just had to handle something urgent. Don't worry about me." Sayori: "Are you sure everything's alright, Natsuki? Anything we can do to help?" Natsuki: "Thanks for your concern, Sayori. But really, it's nothing for you guys to worry about. I'll be there soon, okay?" Yuri: "Alright, we'll be waiting for you, Natsuki. Take your time and stay safe." Natsuki: "Thanks, Yuri. See you guys soon." (Monika hangs up the call and looks at the others.) Monika: "Natsuki said she's fine and will be here soon. Let's give her a bit more time." Sayori: "Okay, I hope everything's really alright. I can't wait to feel Sakura's kicks again." Yuri: "Indeed, it's such a wonderful feeling. Let's remain patient and hope Natsuki arrives soon." (The club members continue with their activities, eagerly awaiting Natsuki's arrival, hoping that everything is truly okay.)
