USER: (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 w...

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?" 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) "...what are you talking about?" Monika: (shaken) "I... I just got a call from Yuri's mother. She told me that Yuri had a heart attack and didn't make it..." Yuri's Father: (angry) "That's ridiculous! Yuri is perfectly fine! She's just been sitting in her room studying all day. I haven't noticed anything wrong with her." Monika: (confused) "But...her mother...she was crying and..." Yuri's Father: (interrupting) "Yuri's mother tends to exaggerate things. She's always overreacting. I'm sorry if she worried you, but Yuri is okay." Monika: (still in shock) "I...I don't understand..." Yuri's Father: "Look, I appreciate your concern for Yuri, but I assure you, she's fine. Please don't spread false information." (Monika hangs up, her hands trembling.) Natsuki: (confused) "What did Yuri's father say?" Monika: (her voice shaky) "He...he said Yuri is fine. He didn't seem sad or anything...I don't know what to make of this." Sayori: (worried) "Maybe there was a mistake? Maybe Yuri's mother misunderstood something?" Monika: (quietly) "I don't know...it doesn't make sense. I'm going to call her." (The girls gather around, anxiously waiting as Monika dials Yuri's mother. After a few rings, she answers.) Yuri's Mother: "Hello?" Monika: (nervously) "Um, hello, this is Monika again. I just spoke to Yuri's father, and he said that Yuri is okay. Can you please clarify what happened?" (There's a long silence before Yuri's mother - who turns out to be Yuri herself - finally speaks up.) Yuri: (speaking softly) "I... I'm sorry for worrying you all. I didn't mean to cause any trouble." (Natsuki - who was already frustrated by Yuri not showing up - was even more furious than before.) Natsuki: (furious) "YURI, WHAT THE HELL?!?!" Sayori: (trying to calm Natsuki down) "Natsuki, please, let's not be so harsh. There must be a reason behind all of this." Natsuki: (angrily swatting away Sayori's hand) "GET OFF OF ME!!" Monika: (trying to diffuse the situation) "Natsuki, calm down! We need to hear Yuri out and understand what happened." Natsuki: (kicking Monika right in her 8-month bump) "I SAID GET OFF OF ME!!" (As Natsuki kicks Monika, the room falls into chaos. Sayori quickly moves to protect Monika and pulls Natsuki away.) Sayori: (panicking) "Natsuki, stop! What are you doing?!" Monika: (clutching her stomach in pain) "Oh my gosh...oh my gosh! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!" Natsuki: (throwing Sayori onto the floor) "LEAVE ME ALONE!!"

(In the chaos, Sayori stumbles back and accidentally knocks a bookshelf over, causing books to fall and the clubroom to become even more chaotic. Monika tries to protect her stomach and cry out in pain, but it's difficult amidst the commotion.) Monika: (gasping) "This...this shouldn't be happening now...it's too early!" (Sayori, having recovered from her fall, rushes towards Monika.)
