Kaji: Girl in a Hat

Act 1

INT. DINING ROOM - NIGHT

Wearing an orange plastic hat, a sitting KAJI looks unhappy.

KAJI (V.O.): Wearing anything is so unnatural.

GANG MEMBER#1 then places two big cakes on the table.

KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): That's a way to raise my spirit? They aren't as interesting as treats.

Pausing.

KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): But, why two cakes after all? I need to clear my head.

Then, GANG MEMBER#1 sits with Kaji. GANG MEMBER#2 plays the piano. The PACK LEADER and PETER take photos.

KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): What day is today?

Pausing.

KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Are the cakes dedicated to me or the girl sitting with me?

Act 2

FLASHBACK

INT. CLUB HOUSE, ELEMENTS - YESTERDAY

Kaji joins a GIRLS party.

KAJI (V.O.): When they see or touch me, they all put on smiling faces.

Pausing.

KAJI (V.O.): It's magical that my mere presence can fill them with joy.

RETURN TO PRSENT

KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Again, they look so happy. What's significant?

Recalling.

KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Similar scenes happened once in a while.

Recalling.

KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I was a girl in a hat.

Pausing.

KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Earlier, the Pack Leader even tied a pink ribbon around my neck. But she didn't say "Kai Kai". I was so disappointed.

Patiently, Kaji stays put to let them take their photos.

KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): My good behaviour deserves something more interesting. Don't they agree?

ACT 3

INT. DINING ROOM - CONTINUOUS

Gang Member#1 then shows Kaji her favrourite treat.

KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): That would be the right thing to reassure me.

Kaji then sees Peter giving some red packets to Gang Member#1.

PETER: As you turn 21, you've a one-off additional gift.

Kaji sees Pack Leader's give-me-five cue.

KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): 5?

PACK LEADER: You'll be spoiled with Wagyu beef.

Pausing.

KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Never mind what that is, I feel being loved and happy now.

FADE OUT.
