(In what looks like a dusty room)

Lunagaron: (shocked as to what he sees) “No…how could this be?!”

Sayori: (confused) “What are you talking about?”

Lunagaron: (confusedly looking back-and-forth at Sayori and the body hanging from the ceiling) “I-how did-what is-I thought you were dead!”

Sayori: “Oh. That body you see? It’s not actually me. It’s just your imagination.”

Lunagaron: (relieved, but still confused) “My imagination? But it looks so real…”

Sayori: “Sometimes our minds can play tricks on us. It’s not uncommon to see things that aren’t really there, especially if we’re feeling stressed or overwhelmed.”

Lunagaron: (nodding) “I guess you’re right. I’ve been under a lot of stress lately.”

Sayori: (placing a comforting hand on his shoulder) “It’s okay to feel that way, but you don’t have to face it alone. You can always talk to me about what’s been bothering you.”

Lunagaron: (smiling gratefully) “Thank you, Sayori. I really appreciate that. I guess sometimes it’s good to have someone to lean on.”

Sayori: (smiling back) “Of course! That’s what friends are for.”

Lunagaron: “Hold on…don’t you have ‘rainclouds’ in your head?”

Sayori: “USED to. They vanished after I found out about what the glitch created…in my belly. I started feeling sick when I woke up, but the rest of the club was just fine!”

(Without another word, Lunagaron leaves the dusty room. A few days later, Lunagaron returns to see Sayori)

Lunagaron: “Well, I couldn’t see any signs of either Garangolm OR Malzeno.”

Sayori: “…and I just hope this pregnancy goes smoothly for me.”

Lunagaron: “I’m sure it will. You have all of us to support you.”

Sayori: (smiling) “Thank you, Lunagaron. I really appreciate it.”

Lunagaron: (nodding) “Of course. We’re all here for each other, no matter what.”

Sayori: (sighing) “I just can’t believe this is happening. It’s all so surreal.”

Lunagaron: (putting a hand on her shoulder) “I know it’s a lot to take in, but we’ll get through this together. You’re not alone.”

Sayori: (tearing up) “Thank you, Lunagaron. I don’t know what I’d do without you and the rest of the club.”

Lunagaron: (smiling) “You don’t have to worry about that. We’re all in this together.”

(Suddenly, everything glitches out - and Sayori now looks about 5 months pregnant)

Sayori: “What the-?! What on earth JUST happened?!”

Lunagaron: “I’m not sure, but it looks like some sort of glitch. Are you feeling alright, Sayori?”

Sayori: (rubbing her belly) “I’m alright. It looks like the glitch accelerated my pregnancy.”

Lunagaron: (concerned) “Do you need to go to the hospital?”

Sayori: (shaking her head) “No, I think I’ll be fine. But I don’t know why the glitches have become more frequent.”

Lunagaron: “We’ll figure it out. We always do. For now, let’s just focus on making sure you’re comfortable and getting through this pregnancy.”

Sayori: (smiling) “Thanks, Lunagaron.”

Lunagaron: (smiling back) “Anytime, Sayori. We’re all here for you, no matter what glitches come our way.”

(Ten weeks later, Lunagaron and Sayori head to the clubroom - and the others are shocked at the size of Sayori’s belly)

Monika: (gaping) “Wow, Sayori, you’re really growing! How are you feeling?”

Sayori: (smiling) “Honestly, a little overwhelmed, but I’m doing okay.”

Yuri: (concerned) “Have you seen a doctor? Is everything okay with the baby?”

Sayori: “Yes, I had a check-up yesterday and everything is looking good.”

Natsuki: (curious) “So how far along are you?”

Sayori: “About five months, I think.”

Monika: (thoughtful) “I wonder if the glitches are affecting the timeline…”

Lunagaron: (nodding) “It’s definitely a possibility. We should keep an eye out for any other changes.”

Yuri: (pensive) “I’ll do some research on the effects of glitches on the human body.”

Natsuki: (determined) “And I’ll bake some extra special treats for Sayori to make sure she’s well-fed.”

Sayori: (smiling gratefully) “Thank you, everyone. I’m so lucky to have all of you as my friends.”

Monika: (smiling back) “We’re lucky to have you too, Sayori. We’ll get through this together.”

(Suddenly, everything glitches again - accelerating Sayori’s pregnancy to her third trimester)

Sayori: (gasping) “Oh no, not again…”

Lunagaron: (concerned) “Are you okay, Sayori?”

Sayori: (breathing heavily) “I’m fine, just a little overwhelmed.”

Monika: (checking her phone) “It looks like the glitches are becoming more frequent and intense. We need to figure out a way to stop them.”

Yuri: (nodding) “I’ve been doing some research, and it seems like the cause of the glitches may be tied to an elder dragon known only as ‘The Archdemon of the Abyss’.”

Lunagaron: “Wait…you seriously don’t mean Gaismagorm’s behind this, do you?!”

Yuri: “…I have no idea who this ‘Gaismagorm’ guy is, but that name sounds menacing.”

Natsuki: “He’s the elder dragon Lunagaron fought before we met him. But why would Gaismagorm want to cause all these glitches?”

Monika: “Maybe it’s part of some larger plan. We need to find out more about this Archdemon and figure out how to stop them.”

Sayori: “But how do we even start? We don’t even know where to look for information on an elder dragon we’ve never heard of.”

Lunagaron: “I think I know someone who might be able to help us.”

(The group looks at Lunagaron, waiting for him to explain)

Lunagaron: “Before I joined the club, I worked as a mercenary for hire. I’ve met a lot of people and creatures in my travels, including a dragon who was known for being one of the best information brokers around.”

Monika: “Do you think they will know about this Archdemon?”

Lunagaron: “It’s possible. It’s worth a shot, at least.”

Natsuki: “But how do we contact them?”

Lunagaron: “I’ve got their number. I’ll call them and see if they’re willing to help us out.”

Yuri: “While Lunagaron does that, perhaps we can continue our research and try to gather any information we can on this Archdemon?”

(The group nods in agreement and begins to gather their resources)

Sayori: (smiling) “I knew I could count on you all. We’ll figure this out together.”

Monika: (smiling back) “Of course, Sayori. We’re in this together until the end.”

(While searching for any signs of the Archdemon, the group comes across the mutilated body of Garangolm)

Lunagaron: (horrified) “No…”

Sayori: (covering her mouth in shock) “Oh my god…”

Natsuki: (disgusted) “Who could do something like this?”

Yuri: (analyzing the scene) “It looks like the body has been torn apart by some sort of large claws…perhaps a dragon’s?”

Monika: (determined) “We need to keep moving. We can’t let this distract us from finding out more about this Archdemon.”

Lunagaron: (nodding) “You’re right. We can’t let Garangolm’s death be in vain. Let’s keep going.”

(The group continues their search, but they can’t shake off the image of Garangolm’s mutilated body. As they navigate through the dangers of the dragon-infested areas, they come across a hidden cave)

Yuri: “This seems like a good place to search for any clues.”

Lunagaron: “Alright, let’s split up and look around. But be careful, we don’t know what we might find.”

(Sayori wanders around the cave and comes across the mutilated body of Malzeno)

Sayori: (gasping and covering her mouth) “No…”

Lunagaron: (running over to her) “Sayori, what’s wrong?”

Sayori: (tears streaming down her face) “It’s Malzeno…his body…he’s been torn apart…”

Natsuki: (disgusted) “What the hell is going on? Who would do this?”

Monika: (grimly) “It looks like we’re dealing with a powerful and ruthless enemy. We need to be prepared for anything.”

Yuri: (analyzing the scene) “It’s likely that whoever did this has some sort of connection to this Archdemon. We need to keep searching for any clues or information.”

Lunagaron: (taking a deep breath) “Alright, let’s keep going. We can’t let our emotions get in the way of finding out the truth.”

(The group continues their search, but with heavy hearts. The death of their friends weighs heavily on them, but they are all determined to find out what is going on. After hours of searching, they finally come across a hidden chamber)

Monika: “This looks important. Let’s be careful.”

(The group enters the chamber and sees the mutilated bodies of Somnacanth and Magnamalo. Magnamalo’s eyes were gouged out, while Somnacanth’s belly had a massive hole in it - as if something had burst out of her)

Sayori: (covering her mouth in horror) “This is so…wrong.”

Lunagaron: (clenching his fists) “Whoever did this will pay.”

Natsuki: (angry) “I don’t care who they are or what their reason is, this is unforgivable.”

Yuri: (examining the bodies) “It looks like there was a struggle. The wounds suggest that a dragon was involved.”

Monika: (pensive) “And the fact that these were our friends’ bodies means that they were targeted for a reason.”

Lunagaron: (nodding) “We need to keep searching for any clues or information. We can’t let their deaths be in vain.”

(The group turns their attention back to the chamber and begins searching for any signs of the Archdemon. After a few minutes of searching, they come across a hidden diary)

Monika: (picking up the diary) “This could be the key to finding out more about the Archdemon.”

Yuri: (reading the diary) “It looks like the writer was someone who was working with the Archdemon, gathering information about dragons and their weaknesses.”

Natsuki: (bitterly) “So they were targeting our friends because they knew about our dragon slaying abilities.”

Sayori: (determined) “We need to use this information to stop them. We can’t let them keep hurting innocent creatures and people.”

Lunagaron: (nodding) “Agreed. We need to take action, and we need to do it quickly.”

Monika: (smiling) “Then let’s get to work. We’re going to stop this Archdemon and put an end to their plans.”

(The group leaves the chamber, determined to take down the Archdemon. They know that it won’t be easy, but they are prepared to do whatever it takes to keep their friends and their world safe from harm. But while on the way to the Archdemon’s lair, Sayori starts feeling pain in her belly)

Sayori: “Aah! S-Something’s wrong…but we can’t stop now…we’re so-”

(Sayori’s water suddenly breaks, cutting her short)

Sayori: “Oh no…”

Monika: "Sayori, what's wrong?"
