Doki Doki Literature Club: Normal Mode

Chapter 4

The day went by very fast for me. It's time for me to enter the club again. I enter the club, greet everyone and sit at a desk. Someone is missing, right? Oh yeah! Monika is not here. I wonder where she is? The door opens...

Monika: "Aw, man..."

"I'm the last one here again!"

John: "Don't worry, I just walked in too."

Yuri: "Were you practicing piano again?"

Monika: "Yeah..."

"Ahaha..."

Yuri: "You must have a lot of determination."

"Starting this club, and now picking up piano..."

Monika: "Well, maybe not determination..."

"But I guess passion."

"Remember that the club wouldn't be here if it wasn't for all of you."

"And I'm super happy that you're all willing to help out for the festival, too!"

Natsuki: "Aaah, I can't wait for the festival!"

"It's gonna be great!"

Monika: "Eh?"

"Weren't you complaining about it just yesterday, Natsuki?"

Natsuki: "Well, yeah."

"I'm not talking about our part of the festival."

"But it's a whole day of school where we get to play and eat all kinds of delicious food!"

John: "You sound a bit like Sayori all of a sudden..."

Natsuki: "Monika! Do they usually have fried squid?"

Monika: "Squid...?"

"That's a pretty specific thing to look forward to..."

Natsuki: "Oh, come on."

"Are you saying you don't like squid?"

"You, of all people?"

Monika: "Eh? I didn't say I don't like it."

"Besides, what do you mean by 'you of all people'?"

Natsuki: "Because!"

"It's right in your name!"

"Mon-ika!"

Monika: "Eh?!"

"That's not how you say my name at all!"

"Also, that joke makes no sense in translation!"

Natsuki: "...?"

Monika: "Ah...never mind!"

"Let's just focus on our own event for now, okay?"

Natsuki: "Ehehe."

"Fine, fine."

"Your reactions aren't as fun as Yuri's or Sayori's, anyway."

Yuri: "Excuse me..?"

John: "Where is Sayori, anyway...?"

Sayori is sitting at a desk in the corner of the room, looking down at nothing. I walk over to her.

John: "Hey, Sayori."
