Natsuki: (pushing with all her might) “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!”

Yuri: “You’re doing great, Natsuki! Just a few more pushes!”

Natsuki: “I-I-I’m trying, Yuri!”

Monika: “Okay, Natsuki! One more push and the last baby will be here!”

Natsuki: (mustering all her strength in one last push) “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!”

(Just as Natsuki delivers her third and final triplet, Sayori enters the room.)

Sayori: “Hey, everyone! What’s going on?”

Natsuki: “There you are, Sayori! What took you so long?!”

Sayori: “I overslept…then I tripped on the stairs…then I got stuck in traffic on the way here…then my 5-year-old brother had a temper tantrum…”
