An argument between Sanson and Hanson escalates into a competition featuring two mechanical lions modeled after King. Amidst this rivalry, Nadia discloses the reason for her strong dislike of eating meat. She recounts a past incident from her circus days where her friend Smoky, a goat, was removed because he could no longer perform labor. This traumatic event enabled Nadia to understand animal speech. She explains that witnessing humans consume meat feels equivalent to watching a friend being murdered, highlighting the deep emotional connection she formed with animals during that time.
