FADE IN
Act 1
INT. HOME - EVENING (YESTERDAY)
Cosy. KAJI is observing the PACK LEADER who speaks to a handheld device.
PACK LEADER (to phone): ...Time to take our babe to the park...
PETER returns.
KAJI (V.O.): Something tells me I'm into something good.
Kaji looks excited, but remains unmoving.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I like to pretend that I'm not craving for it.
Kaji makes her way to a nearby table and hides under it.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I know the Pack Leader would crouch down to fetch me.
As the Pack Leader kneels down to fetch her, Kaji remains still.
PACKLEADER: You're affectionately stubborn, just like me?
Act 2
EXT. RIVERSIDE PARK - LATER
Golden reflections on the water's surface. Kaji, the Pack Leader and Peter appear.
KAJI (V.O.): Having left my marks on the grass, we'd like to stroll along the river.
PACK LEADER: Let's discover the areas that we've yet to explore.
The patterned lights along the river are illuminated.
PETER: I feel a deep sense of connection, tranquility and peace.
PACK LEADER: Our babe has recovered pretty well.
PETER: It seems she limps less now.
Kaji glances at the Pack Leader and Peter.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Have we created a portrait of harmony together?
Kaji gazes thoughtfully at the rippling river.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): But I'm not interested in leaving my marks in the river.
Pausing.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I know I can swim, but I prefer to stay dry.
Feeling something.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): The breeze tickles my fur.
Feeling again.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I can feel the whispers of freedom in my paws.
Suddenly, Kaji's eyes widen.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I've the urge to run!
Kaji darts forward.
PACK LEADER: Wait...
While the Pack Leader struggles to keep up, Peter looks startled.
PETER: Wow, our babe hasn't run for a long time.
PACK LEADER (breaths quickening): She's very fast.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Since my injury, I feel alive!
INT. HOME - AFTERNOON (Today)
The Pack Leader is preparing a cold compress and a warm pack. Kaji watches with curiosity.
PACK LEADER: Therapy time!
As the Pack Leader does the therapy to Kaji's left leg, Kaji relaxes and melts into a comfortable position.
KAJI (V.O.): The touch is so soothing, I don't mind to have more.
INT. RIVERSIDE PARK - EVENING
Kaji, the Pack Leader and Peter stroll through the park.
KAJI (V.O): Somehow, I don't have to urge to run.
Peter stares at Kaji's left leg motion.
PETER: OMG, our babe limps again!
Act 3
INT. HOME - NIGHT
As the Pack Leader relaxes on a sofa, Kaji relaxes on her sofa.
KAJI (V.O): When we move, we also shift emotionally as if our spirits are intertwined.
Pausing.
KAJI (V.O) (Cont'd): In unity, we find companionshp, resilience and love.
Thinking.
KAJI (V.O) (Cont'd): I cherish the Pack Leader and the Gang, our relationship is dynamic and continuaally evolving.
