(In the clubroom...) Monika: "She hasn't shown up yet..." Natsuki: (already fuming) "GAH! When is she going to show up?!" Sayori: (entering the clubroom) "What's gotten Natsuki so peeved? Who are you two waiting for?" Monika: "We're waiting for Yuri. She's usually punctual, but today she's late." Natsuki: "It's frustrating! Why can't she just be on time for once?" Sayori: "Hmm, I hope she's alright. Maybe something came up?" Monika: "That's what I'm worried about too. Yuri is usually responsible and reliable." Natsuki: "Well, I don't care! She should have let us know if she couldn't make it on time." Sayori: "Natsuki, let's try to be understanding. We don't know what might have happened." Monika: "You're right, Sayori. We should give Yuri the benefit of the doubt. But let's also make sure to remind her about communication." Natsuki: "Fine, but I'm still annoyed." (Just then, Monika gets a phone call - but not from Yuri or anyone she knows.) Monika: (confused) "Huh? Who could be calling me at a time like this?" (She answers the phone.) Monika: "Hello?" Unknown Caller: (slightly sad) "Is this Monika from the literature club?" Monika: "Um, yes. Who is this?" Unknown Caller: "This is Yuri's mother." Monika: (surprised) "Yuri's mother? Is Yuri okay?" Yuri's Mother: (sighs) "I'm afraid Yuri has...has..." (Yuri's mother starts crying.) Yuri's Mother: (momentarily stopping crying) "I found her in her room sitting by her desk. But when I walked up to her, she seemed unconscious. She wasn't breathing at all. She...she suffered a heart attack." Monika: "Oh my gosh...you seriously don't mean-" Yuri's Mother: (tearfully) "I'm sorry, Monika. Yuri... she didn't make it." (There is a moment of stunned silence in the clubroom as Monika processes what she has just heard.) Monika: (whispering) "No... this can't be happening..." Natsuki: (in shock) "Wait, what? Yuri... she's gone?" Sayori: (visibly shaken) "I can't believe it... She was just here yesterday, smiling and talking to us..." (In tears, Monika hangs up.) Monika: (sobbing) "She's gone... Yuri is gone..." Natsuki: (teary-eyed) "I can't believe it... We were just waiting for her, and now... she's not coming back..." Sayori: (holding back tears) "I... I don't know what to say. Yuri was such a sweet and kind person..." Monika: "I'll call Yuri's father and let him know what happened to Yuri." (Monika pulls out her phone and calls Yuri's father.) (On the other side of the phone...) Yuri's Father: (not even sad at all) "Hello?"
CHATBOT
Monika: (trying to hold back her tears) "Hello, this is Monika from the literature club. I'm sorry to inform you that Yuri... she passed away." Yuri's Father: (pauses) "Oh... I see. Thank you for letting me know." Monika: "I'm... I'm so sorry for your loss. Yuri was a wonderful person and a dear friend to all of us." Yuri's Father: (disinterested) "Yes, well, thank you for informing me. Goodbye." (Yuri's father hangs up abruptly.) Natsuki: (angry) "What the hell?! How could he be so cold? His daughter just died!" Sayori: (softly) "Sometimes people have different ways of processing grief... It's difficult for everyone." Monika: (sniffles) "We should all come together for Yuri's sake. We need to support each other and remember her." Natsuki: (wiping away tears) "Yeah... you're right. Yuri wouldn't want us to be sad forever." Sayori: (nods) "Let's honor her memory by cherishing the time we had with her and continuing the club in her honor." Monika: (smiling through tears) "That's a wonderful idea, Sayori. Yuri's spirit will always be with us, guiding us through our love for literature." (They gather together in a circle, holding hands, and take a moment of silence to remember Yuri.)
