  6. Kaji takes a look of the PACK LEADER sleeping in bed.


  7. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): She likes to wake up late.

  11. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Since then, she has stopped playing with me. Anything wrong?


  12. Act 2


  13. INT. HOME - AFTERNOON


  14. Dining table. Kaji takes the chair seat. The Pack Leader and Peter are eating something.


  15. KAJI (V.O.): Usually, the Pack Leader would share pancakes with me.


  16. Kaji is watching the food on the table.


  17. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): No pancakes today. It isn't a common sight.


  18. Pausing.


  19. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Perhaps, we just have something causal before going out for a feast.


  20. Kaji observes the Pack Leader and Peter.


  21. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): They're tight-lipped.


  22. Kaji takes a look of the maid.


  23. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): She isn't preparing my harness either.


  24. Kaji gets some small treats from the Pack Leader.


  25. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Sometimes, the girl Gang Member would put on the harness for me.


  26. Kaji looks around.


  27. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Oh yes, where's she? We used to eat together.


  28. Pausing.


  29. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): She hasn't come out from her room yet.


  30. After their meal, Kaji hears some piano sounds.


  31. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Oh, has the pianist Gang Member sneaked in?


  32. Looking at the piano chair, Kaji sees Peter playing the piano.


  33. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Oh, the first time I see him playing.


  34. When Peter leaves, Kaji takes his seat.


  35. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I like to feel his warmth.


  36. INT. HOME - LATE AFTERNOON


  37. As the door bell rings "Ding Dong! Ding Dong!", Kaji barks.


  38. KAJI (V.O.): Who's it? Everybody's home.


  39. As the Pack Leader opens the door, Kaji sees a STRANGER.


  40. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Oh, he dresses like an alien. Why is he coming here?


  41. As Kaji watches the stranger talking to the Pack Leader, the girl GANG MEMBER comes out from her room.


  42. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): She's been isolating herself.


  43. Then, Kaji sees the stranger helping the girl Gang Member wearing an arm band.


  44. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): The arm band is just for her. We don't have that.


  45. INT. HOME - NIGHT


  46. Dining table. Kaji takes the chair seat while the Pack Leader and Peter are having dinner.

  47. KAJI (V.O.): Just two of them. Even the occasional man Gang Member isn't coming home either!


  48. Pausing.


  49. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I've a hunch that we're going through bad times. What can I do?


  50. Act 3


  51. INT. HOME - LATE NIGHT


  52. Sitting on the sofa, Kaji and the Pack Leader are watching TV.


  53. KAJI (V.O.): While we've to endure any challenge, we're quite safe at home.


  54. Kaji sees an image being crowned on TV.


  55. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I get crowned occasionally. Although I don't like that, I can bear with it.


  56. Kaji sees Peter joining them, playing the guitar.

  57. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): He's trying to make a boring day eventful. I hope good times will come before long.
