Act 1
EXT. STREETS - AFTERNOON
One side is brightly lit under the sun.
KAJI (V.O.): It's a hot afternoon.
KAJI is leading the PACK LEADER and PETER on the other side which is in shadow.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Taking a different route, it's hard for me to retrace my steps to the Pet Garden.
They arrive at a junction.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Left or right?
Kaji takes the left turn.
PACK LEADER: That's not right.
Act 2
EXT. PET GARDEN - LATER
Kaji is on her own, choosing her favourite spot.
KAJI (V.O.): Here's the spot where I can feel some magnetic force.
After obeying the call of nature, Kaji looks relieved. It's the pack leader's turn to pick up what she has left behind.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Am I enslaving the pack leader?
Kaji walks around leisurely.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Unlike home, there's no air-conditioning here.
Holding a dog water bottle, the pack leader passes it Kaji.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Yes, I'm thirsty.
Having taken her drink, Kaji's FRIENDS want to engage her.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): No, I'm not in the mood. Go away little boys!
Avoiding the boys, Kaji jumps up to a bench to sit next to the boys' MASTERS. They're taken by surprise.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): There's nothing special. I've a powerful bond with humans.
FLASHBACK
INT. DINING ROOM - NIGHT
In Kaji's company, the pack leader and the GANG are skyping.
KAJI (V.O.): Yes, I can see someone with no scent on the screen.
Then, the Gang put Kaji and her meal bowl filled with food on the table.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): High up here, I'm fully exposed. But for the food, I wouldn't compromise myself.
RETURN TO PRESENT
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Sitting on this bench, I feel higher and more in control, although I'm still living under the shadow of the pack leader and possibly the boys' masters.
ACT 3
EXT. STREETS - LATER
They wait outside a store as the pack leader buys some drinks.
KAJI (V.O.): With air-conditioning, here's much better than the pet garden.
Pausing.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Have I changed my mindset?
Kaji walks under the sun, casting a shadow.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Are they actually living under my shadow?
FADE OUT.
