Sunlight poured in through the window of Sayori’s bedroom that early Thursday morning and gently roused Monika from her slumber.

The vice president stirred in Sayori’s bed, wearing the pajamas that Sayori had loaned to her while her long, light brown hair was untied and flowed gracefully down her back. She opened her emerald green eyes and then saw Sayori’s room painted in the shifting colors of the dawn.

That was the first time she saw any room in the game rendered in the early morning, Monika thought. It was also the first time that she had gone to ‘sleep’ with her sprite fully intact.

Waking up from that pleasant lull was a completely different experience from simply disappearing from and reappearing into existence like Monika was used to doing.

This new experience was incredibly refreshing.

Bathing in the light of the morning sun like that, Monika truly felt that she had a brand new lease on life - and she owed it to the girl who was still sleeping peacefully beside her on the bed.

As Monika tried to stretch the rest of her lingering drowsiness away, the sleeping Sayori stirred and shifted around.

Sayori’s hand brushed against the locks of Monika’s long hair and the president calmly muttered,

“Moni… we’ll have… a  great festival… with everyone…”

Sayori looked like she was having a pleasant dream, Monika noted.

The vice president then gently patted the sleeping Sayori’s head and confidently whispered,

“If you’re leading the way, I’m sure we’ll make it this time.”

Sayori seemed to smile when she heard this. Then, she drifted back into her peaceful slumber.

Monika smiled back and got off of the bed.

Then, she started to get ready for school.

Later that afternoon, as soon as classes ended for the day, Monika breezed out of her classroom then headed straight for the clubroom.

The tune of ‘Ohayou Sayori’ played as Monika made her way through the hallways. That meant that the club meeting for Chapter 3 was already getting started, Monika figured.

In the original script, Monika came in late to the Chapter 3 meeting. She made an excuse about practicing the piano back then, but there was no need for her to be late anymore that time around.

Thus, Monika reached the clubroom doors ahead of her scripted schedule and she peeked inside.

Just as she had expected, the Chapter 3 common scene was already playing out.

Sayori was in the middle of the room and she was chatting with the Protagonist. All the while, she was craftily trying to convince him to buy her a snack.

Yuri, on the other hand, was reading her Portrait of Markov book as usual while Natsuki was lurking around in the clubroom closet.

Monika knew the script by heart so, at that point, she already knew what to expect.

However, that was the first time that she saw this scene taking place with her own two eyes.

While Monika was browsing the scene from the threshold, Sayori noticed her at the door. She then flashed her vice president a quick smile then gestured her to come inside.
