Act 1


INT. SITTING ROOM - MORNING


Pushing her nose deep inside a toy box, KAJI finds a tennis ball.


KAJI (V.O.): Yes, here it is.


The PACK LEADER and the GANG are watching Kaji's doing.


PACK LEADER: Ah, you want to play immediately after breakfast?


KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Not really. I guard your favourite toy with my life.


Pausing.


KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I anticipate you all may like to check it out.


Ball in mouth, Kaji stares at them.


Act 2


INT. SITTING ROOM - CONTINUOUS


KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Every time I take the ball out, they'd get it and then throw it.


Thinking.


KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): But if they want the ball, who do they throw it away?


Pondering.


KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): That has been a mystery to me.


Waiting.


KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Perhaps, they might like to practise throwing a ball properly.


Pausing.


KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): But what I've observed so far is that: they seem to have learned nothing.


Kaji looks frustrated.


KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Well, the ball isn't going to throw itself.


Getting the ball from Kaji, the Pack Leader throws it.


KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): See the random speed and landing location? Nevertheless, I'll catch it.


Kaji rushes to the landing spot to catch the ball back.


KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): It seems a Gang Member wants to join.


Getting the ball from Kaji, the Gang MEMBER throws the ball no better.


KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I'm always focused. But they aren't.


Kaji rushes to the landing spot to catch the ball back again.


ACT 3


INT. SITTING ROOM - CONTINUOUS


But now, no one wants to throw the ball.


KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Ah, have they realized that they shouldn't throw their love away?


Pausing.


KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): If that's the case, they've learned well. But I've a hunch that they're slow in everything.


Waiting.


KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I'm disciplined. I'll be waiting.


FADE OUT.

THE END
