Act 2
FLASHBACK
INT. HOME - NIGHT
Lifting both of her hind legs against a low vertical partition, Kaji begins to pee.
KAJI (V.O.): At home, I pee in the handstand position. That has been my style since I was a little girl.
The waiting MAID cleans for Kaji.
END FLASHBACK
KAJI (V.O.): Here, there's no vertical support. I just squat and pee. That's natural to me.
A BOY Shiba Inu then runs near to sniff Kaji's rear end. Kaji responds casually.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I don't think we've met before. And I'm in the mood to play with you.
Kaji walks away, But the Boy follows.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Don't bother me. Leave me alone!
As the Boy doesn't listen, Kaji jumps onto a bench to sit. Frustrated, the Boy goes elsewhere.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I'm the only pet user here who would sit on a bench.
Thinking.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Here's a pet garden, right?
Joining Kaji on the bench, Peter takes a photo her.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Do I look happy?
Checking the image, Peter looks proud.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Today, all the users here are of the Shiba Inu breed.
Pausing.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Do we have to hunt each other?
Resting on the bench with Peter, Kaji lifts her mouth corners slightly.

KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): My tail is so curled that I can't wag my tail to express my emotions.
Pausing.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): For the past couple of days, I'm particularly happy.
Recalling.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): While we come here more often, the Pack Leader and the Gang gave me very delicious treats.
Pausing.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I don't know why they change the practice. Am I look more cute than before?
Kaji lifts her mouth corners slightly again.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Little by little, I smile a lot.
FADE OUT.
