FADE IN.
Act 1
INT. DINING ROOM - DAY
KAJI sees PETER putting packets of food on the table.
KAJI (V.O.): I can smell the aroma.
Having jumped up and sit on her dining-table chair, Kaji watches Peter unwrapping the packages.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): They smell delicious. I bet Peter will share some food with me.
Kaji licks her lips upwards and downwards, as Peter begins to eat.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): My turn now...
Kaji stares at Peter intensely and hopefully, while Peter reacts awkwardly.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Why is he just eating by himself as there's nobody around...
Pausing.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Could it because my spot here is too exposed?
Kaji gets down from her chair, hiding under the table.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I don't see anything. Can I have faith in unseen forces?
ACT 2
INT. DINING ROOM - CONTINUOUS
Losing patience, Kaji peeps up under the tablecloth.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Peter, I'm here.
Enters the PACK LEADER.
PACK LEADER: You shouldn't give her any of our food!
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Yes, she's Peter's she-who-must-be-obeyed - my leader too.
PETER: No.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): That explains why Peter doesn't share his food with me.
Pausing.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): As I've been spotted, it's unlikely that I'll get any food here too.
Kaji returns to her table seat.
Staring at Kaji, Peter takes out his phone.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Oh, Peter is going to capture an image of me begging. So embarrassing.
Pausing.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): But right now, I've no better spot than staying here.
Pausing.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): But I don't like to act as if I'm fine. I live authentically.
Pausing.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I won't bark or whine either. I keep my silence.
Kaji tactfully turns her face away from Peter's phone as he takes a photo.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): They always like to record the way they treat me, sometimes rather unkindly.
Pausing.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I don't think it's my problem. I've always been kind to them.
Pausing.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): If there's a problem, it's theirs.
Pausing.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): They always like to dominate me.
Pausing.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): But what can I do? I've never been the one who is in charge.
Pausing.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I'm always true and loyal to them, no matter what.
Pausing.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Do they cherish that?
Pausing.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): And if not, who will come to my aid?
Pausing.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I'm all by myself.
Act 3
INT. DINING ROOM - CONTINUOUS
Peter is looking restless.
PETER : Give her some treats then.
Hesitating, the pack leader puts a packet of treats on the table.
KAJI (V.O.): Well, those are my stuff. But I can only have them at the pleasure of the pack leader, not Peter.
Kaji observes the pack leader.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): She doesn't seem to be anxious.
Abruptly, Peter seizes the packet, opens it and gives one treat for Kaji.
PETER: He, he!
Peter smiles widely as he sees Kaji consuming it swiftly before the pack leader can react.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Peter and I have acted boldly!
Pausing.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Unseen forces aid our harmony.
Kaji maintains her focus on the packet of treats.
FADE OUT.
