OUT OF THE CLUB ROOM, NOW!!! I can't believe this, we're supposed to be a club that respects literature and each other. We can't have a meeting if we can't have a civil discussion. We will take a ten-minute break, and when we come back, I expect everyone to apologize. We're going to find out where MC is and resume our club activities in a calm and respectful manner. Can we agree on that?" Natsuki & Yuri: (looking at each other, ashamed) "...Yeah, okay, Monika. Sorry." Monika: "Good. I know we all care about this club and each other. Let's not let our worries about MC get the better of us. I'll send MC a text to see what's up. In the meantime, let's try to regain our composure." As both Natsuki and Yuri leave the classroom, Monika takes a deep breath, steadying her nerves. She then takes out her phone to message MC, hoping that he's alright and there's just been a simple misunderstanding or delay. Meanwhile, the air settles, a sigh of respite as the tension ebbs away from the club room, awaiting the return of its members and the continuation of its literature-loving purpose.
