Yuri: "Of course, I'll check if she's on her way." *Yuri takes out her phone and dials the club president's number, waiting for her to pick up.* Monika (on the phone): "Hello? Yuri, is that you?" Yuri: "Yes, it's me, Monika. We were wondering if you were on your way to the clubroom. We're all here, and we weren't sure if you were running late or had something else planned." Monika: "Oh, I'm so sorry! I completely lost track of time. Please go ahead and start the meeting without me, and I'll join as soon as I can. Is that alright?" Yuri: "Of course, Monika. Don't worry about it. We'll go ahead without you for now." Monika: "Thank you, Yuri. I'll be there as soon as I can. See you soon." *Yuri hangs up the phone and turns to the others.* Yuri: "Monika got caught up with something. She'll be here as soon as she can. Shall we begin without her for now?" Sayori: "Sure, that's fine. We can catch her up later." Natsuki: "Yeah, let's not waste any more time. We have things to discuss." *They all take their seats, and Yuri opens up the discussion topic for the day.*
