KAJI (V.O.): Picking on me all the time!
The pack leader uses a tissue to wipe away the discharge.
Kaji keeps them company in watching TV. Later, Peter gazes at Kaji's right eye again.
PETER: Oh, a little discharge from her right eye again...
PACK LEADER: We had better take her to see the Vet.
KAJI (V.O.): To see the vet? What's wrong with me?
The pack leader makes a call.
PACK LEADER (to Phone): The Vet is on leave today? Alright, tomorrow then...
