FADE IN
Act 1
INT. LIVING ROOM - MORNING
The sun streams through the window. KAJI sees the MAID going out.
KAJI (V.O): It's her turn to be away.
Recalling.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): After a long absence, the Pack Leader and Peter returned home just days ago.
Later, Kaji sees PETER going out.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): It's his task to get bread for us. I wait for him to return.
Soon, Kaji hears key sounds outside the front door.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): So quick?
While welcoming Peter home, Kaji checks his hands.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Where's the bread? I haven't eaten anything since last night!
Act 2
EXT. RIVERSIDE PARK - LATER
As the PACK LEADER is about to unleash her from her carrier cot, Kaji whines.
KAJI (V.O.): We haven't been here in ages! I love this place...but my left leg...
On the grass, Kaji runs with her left leg like kicking ballet.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I don't want to hurt my left leg further...
Slowing down, Kaji takes a few tentative steps.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Yes, walk, don't run.
Finding her favourite spot, Kaji relieves herself.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): What's next?
INT. VET'S CLINIC - LATER
In the Pack Leader's arms, Kaji arrives.
KAJI (V.O): Oh no, not here. I don't like it...I felt so strange for all the visits.
Recalling.
KAJI (V.O) (Cont'd): They made me feel very sleepy, floating in a dream, but it's not the good kind.
Recalling.
KAJI (V.O) (Cont'd): Under their spell, I feel so heavy and can't move at all. It's so scary...
Entering, Kaji stares at the Pack Leader nervously.
KAJI (V.O) (Cont'd): I'm being trapped again.
Later, the Pack Leader leaves Kaji with a NURSE.
KAJI (V.O) (Cont'd): Why do you leave me behind again? I don't want to be here!
Hours later, Kaji sees the Pack Leader re-appearing, smilingly.
KAJI (V.O) (Cont'd): Finally! But I'm not happy to see you. You left me.
Later, when Peter appears to embrace her, Kaji's eyes narrow.
KAJI (V.O) (Cont'd): You two shouldn't have left me in the first place!
EXT. ROADSIDE - EVENING
At the passenger seat of Peter's car, Kaji sits on the lap of the Pack Leader.
KAJI (V.O): For the past hours, all I had was fear.
Pausing.
KAJI (V.O) (Cont'd): My displeasure is boiling over...
Then, the Pack Leader yelps in surprise.
PACK LEADER: She dares urinate on my lap!
Peter looks shocked.
KAJI (V.O) (Cont'd): Yes, it's a statement of my bad emotions...
We see defiance in Kaji's face.
KAJI (V.O) (Cont'd): No more similar visits!
Glancing back at the Pack Leader and Peter, who are still processing what to do next.
Act 3
INT. LIVING ROOM - NIGHT
Curling up in her floor bed, Kaji looks very tired.
KAJI (V.O): Whenever familiar faces aren't around, I feel tension and vulnerability.
Thinking.
KAJI (V.O) (Cont'd): To reunite with the Pack Leader and the Gang is good, but I can't hide my displeasure of their absence.
Reflecting.
KAJI (V.O) (Cont'd): Anyway, I've my fear unleashed, proportionately.
FADE OUT
THE END
