KAJI (V.O.): I haven't come here for a while.
Kaji leads the Pack Leader and Peter.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I know the way.
As the entry gate opens, Kaji goes inside.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I can't wait to leave my mark here again.
After peeing nearby, Kaji runs to a corner.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): My favourite spot is here.
Kaji gets very light.
Act 2
EXT. PET GARDEN, SUNG WONG TOI - CONTINUOUS

KAJI (V.O.): When I'm in good mood, I'm more open to others.
Pausing.
KAJI (V.O.): Let me check discreetly their smell and body language.
Checking the black one.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): For those having similar personalities like me, I'd get close to them.
They sniff each other's noses.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): But it takes time to understand them though.
Kaji looks rather relaxed.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): For those having ulterior motives, I'd avoid them right away.
The grey one gets closer to Kaji.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I can easier tell through their demeanours eg those can't wait to smell my rear end.
Observing.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): The fur colour and size aren't indicative.
Kaji looks rather uncomfortable.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I'd better rejoin the Pack Leader and Peter.
On her way, Kaji jumps onto a MASTER sitting alone in a bench.

B. Yesterday. Kaji sees Gang MEMBER#2 leaving home with a black suitcase.
END MONTAGE
KAJI (V.O.): Having kept me good company for a while, they've left home one by one.
The Master offers Kaji a brown ball.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Don't know when they'll be back again!
Kaji isn't interested.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): It's my duty to protect the Pack Leader and the Gang.
Pausing.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): As a cute, fat furry being, I can fill up their emptiness.
Kaji leaves the Master.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): The master doesn't smell as good as the Gang.
Pausing.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I like to think that there aren't strangers here, only new friends to be met.
Pausing.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): But it's unrealistic that I'd like everyone I meet.
Pausing.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I've my own personalities and need to protect myself.
Act 3
EXT. PET GARDEN, SUNG WONG TOI - CONTINUOUS
Jumping up onto a bench, Kaji joins the Pack Leader and Peter.
KAJI (V.O.): I've made a new friend today. I'd also keep the old ones.
Pausing.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Every new friend is a new connection, energizing my spirit.
Then comes a STRANGER wagging his tail. Kaji stares down at him.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): While there's always room for one more friend, he's not the one.
Later, following the Pack Leader & Peter, Kaji exits and gets inside the car.
