(Sayori pulls out her phone and dials Monika's number. After a few rings, Monika finally answers.) Monika: "Hey, sorry for being late. I got caught up with something, but I'll be there soon." Natsuki: "What were you caught up with? You better not have forgotten about the club!" Monika: "No, no, I would never forget about the club. It's just some unexpected family stuff. I'll explain when I see you guys." Yuri: "Well, we'll be waiting for you, Monika. Just make sure to come as quickly as possible." Monika: "Of course, Yuri. I'll be there as soon as I can." (Sayori hangs up, reassuring the others about Monika's arrival.) Sayori: "Don't worry, guys. Monika said she'll be here soon. Let's just relax and wait for her." Natsuki: "Fine, but she better have a good reason for being late." Yuri: "Let's not jump to conclusions, Natsuki. There might be a valid reason for her delay." (They all settle into the clubroom, trying to calm their anticipation for Monika's arrival while engaging in small talk and activities to pass the time.)
