question:(In the school literature clubroom…) Monika: “Uh…where’s Yuri? Haven’t seen her since 2 months ago.” Sayori: “Hmm, that’s strange. Yuri hasn’t been coming to club meetings or answering my texts either. I hope she’s okay.” Natsuki: “Knowing Yuri, she’s probably just buried in her books again. Though, it’s odd for her to not even show up to the club. I wonder if something happened?” Monika: “I’m starting to get worried.” (Monika puts a protective hand on her swollen belly.) Sayori: “Oh, Monika, are you okay?” Monika: “I’m fine, just a little worried about Yuri. But I should focus on taking care of myself and my baby. She’s really active today, and this is already my last month - it’s like she wants to be a gymnast when she grows up. I can’t wait to meet her next week!” Natsuki: “Wow, next week? Time really flies. I’m happy for you, Monika.” Sayori: “Yeah, it feels like just yesterday when you told us the news. I’m so excited to meet your little one too! What are you naming her?” Monika: “Thank you both! It’s been such an incredible journey. As for her name, I’m going to name her ‘Miyuki’.” Sayori: “Miyuki, that’s a beautiful name! It suits her perfectly.” Natsuki: “Yeah, it’s a really sweet name. I can already tell she’s going to be amazing, just like her mom.” Monika: “Aw, thank you, guys. I really appreciate your support. I know Miyuki is going to bring so much joy into my life, even if her dad won’t be in the picture.”
answer:Sayori: "We'll be here for both you and Miyuki, Monika. You're not alone, okay?" Natsuki: "Absolutely. We're like a little family here in the literature club. We'll support you no matter what." Monika: "Thank you, guys. I'm really fortunate to have friends like you. I know I can count on you." (Suddenly, the door to the clubroom opens, and Yuri walks in.) Yuri: "I'm sorry, everyone. I know I haven't been coming to the club meetings lately. I've been dealing with some personal issues." Sayori: "Yuri, we were so worried about you! Are you okay?" Yuri: "I'm...I'm getting there. It's just been a difficult time for me, but I appreciate your concern." Monika: "Yuri, we're here for you too, just like we are for me and Miyuki. You're not alone either." Natsuki: "Yeah, we missed you a lot, Yuri. If there's anything we can do to help, just let us know." Yuri: "Thank you, everyone. It means a lot to me that you care. I'm sorry for not reaching out sooner." (Monika's baby starts kicking again, drawing everyone's attention.) Monika: "Looks like Miyuki is excited to have everyone together again. She's kicking up a storm." Sayori: "That's so cute! I can't wait to see her next week and hold her in my arms." Natsuki: "Yeah, this little one is going to bring so much happiness to all of us." Monika: "Thank you, guys, for being here for me and for being such amazing friends. We're going to make so many beautiful memories together."

Monika: "Thank you, both. It means a lot to me. I know I can count on you as my friends." Sayori: "Absolutely! We're here for you, Monika, no matter what. And we'll make sure to support you as much as we can, even after Miyuki is born." Natsuki: "Yeah, we'll be the coolest aunties she could ever have." Monika: "Haha, I'm sure she'll love having you both as her aunties. Thank you for always being there for me, even through the tough times." Sayori: "Of course, Monika. That's what friends are for. And hey, maybe Yuri will show up soon too. We can reach out to her and let her know we're here for her as well." Natsuki: "Absolutely. Yuri may have her own reasons for distancing herself, but we can't just leave her alone. We'll make sure she knows that we care and want to help." Monika: "Thank you, guys. You're the best friends I could ever ask for. I'll reach out to Yuri and let her know we're thinking of her too." (With their bond as strong as ever, the three friends continue to support each other through thick and thin, eagerly awaiting the arrival of Monika's little daughter, Miyuki. And together, they remain determined to help Yuri find her way back to the club and find the support she may need.)

It means a lot to have you by my side." (Suddenly, the door to the clubroom opens and Yuri enters.) Yuri: "I'm sorry, everyone. I know it's been a while. I've just been dealing with some personal issues." Sayori: "Yuri, we were so worried about you! Are you okay?" Yuri: "I'm alright now. Just needed some time to myself. I'm sorry for causing any concern." Natsuki: "Yuri, we missed you. We're all here for you, you know?" Yuri: "Thank you, Natsuki. I appreciate it." Monika: "Yuri, I'm glad to see you're okay. We were really worried." Yuri: "I'm sorry, Monika. I didn't mean to make you worry, especially in your last month of pregnancy." Monika: "It's alright, Yuri. I'm just happy to see you back. And speaking of pregnancy, would you like to feel Miyuki kick?" (Yuri looks surprised but nods eagerly.) Yuri: "I would love that, Monika." (Monika takes Yuri's hand and places it on her belly. They both feel Miyuki's gentle kicks.) Yuri: "It's amazing... She really is active, isn't she?" Monika: "Yes, she definitely is. And I can't wait for all of you to meet her next week." Sayori: "We'll be here, Monika. Supporting you and Miyuki every step of the way." Natsuki: "Definitely. And we'll make sure to spoil her with plenty of cupcakes too." (Everyone laughs, relieved to have Yuri back and looking forward to the arrival of Miyuki. The literature club remains a place of comfort and support, ready to embrace the newest addition to their little family.)
question:How would readers feel if writing certain things in their story hurt them to write, for the sake of a good story.
answer:As a writer, conveying your emotions through your writing can often lead to powerful storytelling. If you, as a writer, are feeling hurt by writing certain things in your story, you are likely touching on deep, meaningful or challenging subjects that have the potential to resonate strongly with your readers. Readers might respond to this in various ways: 1. Empathy: If readers can sense the authenticity and emotion in your writing, they may empathize with the characters or the situations you describe, leading to a more engaged and emotionally invested reading experience. 2. Impact: Writing that comes from a place of genuine feeling can have a significant impact on readers, often leaving a lasting impression or prompting them to contemplate the themes on a deeper level. 3. Recognition: Some readers may recognize the effort and the emotional labor that goes into creating such writing and appreciate the author's willingness to tackle difficult subjects. 4. Discomfort: On the flip side, if the content is particularly heavy or challenging, it could make some readers uncomfortable. This is not necessarily a negative reaction, as discomfort can prompt critical thinking and personal growth. 5. Connection: Sharing a narrative that is emotionally charged can create a sense of connection between the author and the reader, as readers might identify with the experiences or emotions described. 6. Concern: Some empathetic readers may also feel concern for the author, knowing that writing the story was a painful process. It is important to note that while writing can be cathartic for some authors, it should not come at the expense of their well-being. If writing certain aspects of a story is causing significant distress, it may be helpful for authors to seek support from friends, fellow writers, or professionals who can provide guidance on managing the emotional toll of their work. Ultimately, the goal is to communicate a narrative that is both meaningful to the writer and impactful for the reader. Balancing emotional authenticity with self-care is crucial in achieving this end.
