FADE IN.
EXT. ROADS - DAY
Sitting on the lap of the PACK LEADER in the middle row of a car, KAJI sniffs the air coming in from the window.
KAJI (V.O.)
Fresh! But the road
isn't that familiar to
me. Where're we
going?
EXT. ROADSIDE - DAY
On a leash, Kaji gets off the car with PETER.
KAJI (V.O.)
We've never parked
the car here before.
It's definitely not the
pet garden. Anyway,
I enjoy going out.
EXT. HOUSE - DAY
Green area.
KAJI (V.O.)
The grass here is
acceptable. Let me
leave my footprint.
Kaji obeys the calls of nature.
INT. SITTING ROOM - DAY
Crowded.
KAJI (V.O.)
What a big crowd
here! It appears
the people are
exchanging food
and some red
envelopes.
Finding her spot.
KAJI (V.O.)(Cont'd)
My vet remarked
that I'm a woman now.
Do I have to exchange
anything? And with
whom?
Enters KUMA (5), a tame shiba inu about 15 kg.
KAJI (V.O.)
(Surprised)
Who's that funny-looking
man? So fat and short!
Kuma and Kaji greet each other in their special but usual ways.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd)
He smells like Kuma
but he doesn't look
like Kuma. Let me
get closer to him to
check it out.
As Kaji gazes at him, Kuma appears to be unfriendly.
KAJI(V.O.) (Cont'd)
I recognize him. He's
Kuma. But I've got to
be careful with him.
He's now 50% stronger
than me and can harm
me.
Kuma then backs off.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd)
I know why Kuma
behaves rather
unfriendly. Men are
always afraid that
women will laugh at
them.
Thinking.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd)
It's inevitable that I've
to judge him by his
look. It's hard to
appreciate the inner
significance of others.
Pausing.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd)
Further, he doesn't want
to engage. I'm for love
but it doesn't have a
chance. I wouldn't
force him although I'm
a woman manly - he's
actually a womanly man.
EXT. ROAD - DAY
In the middle row of a car, Peter holds and comforts Kaji.
KAJI (V.O.)
Peter's holding me
tight. Who else do
I want, or want to
exchange?
Pausing.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd)
Nobody!
Kaji sleeps contentedly on Peter's lap.
FADE OUT.
