Act 1
INT. LIVING ROOM - DAY
Sofa. KAJI sits with a Gang MEMBER who is putting a treat inside a paper cone.
KAJI (V.O.): It's a game I've to play to earn my treat.
As Kaji watches in anticipation, PETER appears and walks towards a bedroom.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Usually, he has treats for me, and I don't have to play any game to earn it.
Kaji glances back and forth.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I want to check if Peter has treats for me.
Kaji gestures to leave.
MEMBER: Where're you going? You don't want your treat?
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I can't resist the temptation to follow Peter ...
Kaji jumps down from the sofa.
Act 2
INT. BEDROOM - CONTINUOUS
As Kaji appears, Peter speaks to her playfully.
PETER: Search!
KAJI (V.O.): That's a cue that he has treats for me.
Smilingly, Kaji goes to sniff Peter's pockets.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I believe there's a banana. But I can't see it.
Peter shows Kaji the banana.
PETER: You like it?
As Kaji licks her upper lips, Peter unpeels the banana and let her have a bite-sized piece.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Yes, I love it!
We hear the Gang Member calling Kaji.
MEMBER (loudly): Do you still want your treat?
KAJI (V.O.): Yes, I do!
Kaji rushes out but returns after a short while.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I've to come back quick. I fear Peter might have eaten the rest of the banana by himself.
Having had another piece of banana, Kaji goes out again.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I've to appease her...
INT. LIVING ROOM - CONTINUOUS
In a sofa, Kaji looks up to the Gang Member who looks dejected.
MEMBER: Why did you choose Peter over me? I've treats too!
KAJI (V.O.): Her tone is so unloving...
Kaji lowers her head, giving the Gang Member a side-way glance.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I try to explain via my puppy-dog eyes.
MEMBER: I won't buy your guilt expression!
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I'm torn between Peter and you.
Recalling.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Peter has never scolded me.
Recalling.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): And he's the only one who has never resisted my face-licking...
Kaji slinks away from the Gang Member.
MEMBER: Ha! You even distance yourself from me!
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I need to seek a safe space.
Kaji goes to hide under the table.
MEMBER: There's nowhere you can go!
Crouching down, Kaji freezes herself.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I don't know what would happen next...
Act 3
INT. LIVING ROOM - NIGHT
Resting in a sofa, Kaji is licking his upper and lower lips.
KAJI (V.O.): I've just had treats from the Gang Member. Bound by love rather than fear, I swear I won't resist treats.
Kaji takes a look of the PACK LEADER, Peter and the Gang Member.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): We've a few hearts but one common destiny.
Thinking.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Bound by love, we allow us to be bigger and better than we're.
FADE OUT
