(Yuri takes a deep breath, attempting to steady herself as another contraction passes. She tries again to reach for the phone, this time gripping it tightly in her hand.) Yuri: (Gritting her teeth) "Come on, Monika...please pick up..." (With her heart pounding, Yuri waits anxiously as the phone rings. Finally, Monika's voice fills the other end of the line.) Monika: "Yuri! Is that you? Are you alright?" Yuri: (Breathing heavily) "Monika...I-I'm having contractions. It's...it's time." Monika: (Concerned) "Oh goodness! Stay calm, Yuri. I'll be there right away. Just hold on." (Yuri hangs up the phone, feeling a mix of fear and anticipation. She begins to gather her belongings, preparing to make her way downstairs and outside as quickly as she can.) (Back at the literature clubroom...) Monika: (Worried) "Yuri's in labor, everyone! We need to go help her." Sayori: "Oh my gosh, that's serious. We have to get to her right away." Natsuki: "I'll grab my things. Let's go, Monika." (The three girls rush out of the clubroom, their thoughts consumed with concern for their friend. They quickly make their way to Yuri's house, hoping to arrive in time.) (At Yuri's place, Yuri continues to endure the pain of contractions, her mind racing with both fear and excitement.) Yuri: (Whispering to herself) "I can do this...just a little longer..." (Moments later, the door bursts open, revealing Monika, Sayori, and Natsuki, all out of breath.) Monika: (Relieved) "Yuri, we're here! You're going to be alright." Sayori: "Oh, just breathe, Yuri. You're doing great." Natsuki: "Hang in there, Yuri. We won't leave your side." (Yuri looks up at her friends, tears of both pain and gratitude filling her eyes.) Yuri: (Softly) "Thank you...all of you. I'm so glad you're here." (Together, the girls help Yuri into the car, making their way to the hospital as quickly and safely as possible. In that moment, their friendship strengthens, bonded by the shared experience of supporting Yuri in her time of need.)
