  32. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I must be too excited that I've run past the entrance.


  33. Turning around, Kaji runs past Peter, who is reading something posted on one of the barriers.


  34. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): The entrance should be around here, but it isn't here!


  35. Leading the Pack Leader, Kaji keeps on running.


  36. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I won't submit.

  45. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): With no grass to kick, here's hell-like. How can I get light here?


  46. PACK LEADER: You've to adapt to the change this time.


  47. KAJI (V.O.): I'm actually desperate...
