**Lion Heart** is the 26th story event in *Goddess of Victory: Nikke*. It is also the first event of 2024.

The event primarily focuses on Leona and Happy Zoo enjoying an unexpected break.

## Synopsis

The Ark's animal rescue is temporarily closed due to concerns from the citizenry, leaving Happy Zoo without any major work until it reopens. To make the most of this time off, they decide to spend it together.

## Story

### Prologue - Beast of the Park

A child gawks at Leona as he passes by, mistaking her lion Timi for a stuffed animal. His parents are quick to double-take, realizing that Leona is carrying a *real lion* with her and becoming concerned that the animal rescue staff are just *letting* animals roam free in the Ark. The child eagerly runs up to Leona asking if he can pet Timi. She's happy to oblige, but the child's mother interrupts.

The mother goes on a long-winded tirade berating Leona for letting a "wild animal" into the Ark. She's quick to cease her rant as Timi's growl intimidates her, and the family beats tracks. Leona silently watches them go...

### Respect to the King of the Jungle

The protagonist is about ready to go to bed when he hears a knock at his door. Leona apologizes for coming so late at night before asking to come in. Noticing "Zoo Keeper" in his sleepwear, she apologizes again before notifying him that the animal shelter is temporarily closed.

Prompted by the protagonist, Leona explains that the animal shelter has always been subject to mild controversy, given how it keep wild animals in a colony where the people have enough problems looking after themselves. Moreover, she takes Timi on regular walks in the Ark, so that often leads to a number of complaints. For obvious reasons, the animals can't just be released into the wild, so they'll be kept in their cages until the shelter reopens, which shouldn't take more than a day or two. While grumbling over the inconvenience, the protagonist is more concerned with how Leona herself is handling it. Her remark of being used to it is not heartening in the slightest, though she insists that everything's fine...

With that said, Leona came here with the intent of notifying Zoo Keeper that Happy Zoo is going on break, which was officially posted and endorsed by the Central Government. While it's a nice opportunity for Biscuit and Nero to get some well-deserved R&R, Happy Zoo's line of work isn't something that can just be dropped and left to lay fallow until they come back. They need someone to still attend to the animals' feeding schedules and oversee necessary care. Leona asks the protagonist if he knows anyone who can help. They don't have to do anything complicated, but she *does* specify that they need to have a fondness for animals and not be afraid of handling particularly large ones. Her "simple" criteria soon spirals into a laundry list of specifications based on what previous incidents have stemmed from. Leona apologizes for sounding too picky about getting a temporary worker, but the protagonist suddenly has an epiphany...

There's exactly *one* person he knows that could fulfill all of Leona's checklist, the only real black mark being her lack of experience with animals. He tells Leona about his plans to contact his intended helper and then accompany her to the shelter. Leona is concerned that she's taking up more of his time like this, but then realizes she's doing *exactly that* right now, and bids him goodnight. With Leona out of the way, the protagonist makes to contact his helper of choice...Guillotine?

The ~~chuuni~~ Extrinsic Nikke is still a little groggy from waking up, but immediately jolts awake when the protagonist invites her to meet with "the King of the Jungle." With plans set to meet at the shelter tomorrow, the protagonist finally goes to bed...

Early next morning, the protagonist wakes up and gets ready to go to the shelter. He needs to get there before Guillotine, dreading the kind of chaos that may ensue if the ~~delusional~~ eccentric Nikke is left with Happy Zoo unsupervised...

Huffing and sweating, the protagonist arrives at the shelter and is greeted by Happy Zoo. While Biscuit is mildly concerned by his conditon, Nero is more focused on this helper he's set them up with. Guillotine has yet to arrive, and though Happy Zoo appreciates anyone who's willing to help, they still need to make sure she's up to par. The protagonist decides that Guillotine is someone who is better...*experienced*...than explained, as demonstrated by a ominous chuckle from around the corner...

Guillotine de Mephisto grandly(?) introduces herself to a dumbfounded Happy Zoo, having abided the summons of the King of the Jungle. She steps closer to Timi and Leona, and genuflects as she asks for the lion's name. "Timi" becomes "Timi de Vista", much to the awe of Biscuit and Nero. Timi's answering growls are received positively by Guillotine, and Leona is shocked that someone else is able to understand Timi. Happy Zoo becomes increasingly confident in Guillotine's aptitude for watching the shelter, to the point where *Leona* plays along and spins a narrative about her squad being "Timi de Vista's attendants" for over a century.

As Leona guides Guillotine to where the animals' food is kept, the protagonist wonders *how* Leona was able to handle Guillotine so smoothly on the first meeting. Biscuit and Nero explain that their leader is treating Guillotine much the same as she does the shelter's animals, taking care to talk to them in the right way. As per usual, Leona has the situation under control...

After showing Guillotine all the ropes, Leona is about ready to enjoy a holiday with her squad. There's just one little problem; *they didn't* *make any plans*...

### Happy Zoo's Vacation

Leona decides to just have everyone voice their wishes. Biscuit wants to go for a walk and play with a ball, which...isn't much different from what she usually does. Nero wants to climb up high and take a nap, which...also isn't much different from her routine. And Leona...hasn't put any though into it at all, but the main takeaway is that everyone wants to do something different, and that runs counter to Leona's plan of doing something together. In response to the protgonist's offer for assistance, Leona invites Zoo Keeper to help them spend time together. After pondering over where to go, the protagonist leads Happy Zoo to the shopping mall. A place with a diverse selection will surely be able to cater for everyone in the squad.

The mall is initially given a lukewarm reception, given how none of Happy Zoo is particularly shopaholic. That changes when they come across a pet supply store selling all kinds of things. From extra large snuffle mats to cat toys that can go 35km/h. Leona muses that there's a surprising amount of pet supplies, prompting Biscuit and Nero to explain. A number of citizens in the Ark have robotic versions of pet animals, and some are even advanced enough to grow in size as they get older. Plus, there are people who feed and sometimes even take in strays. The protagonist offers to buy something for each member of Happy Zoo, as a reward for all their hard work. While Biscuit and Nero dive further into the store's selection, Leona muses that she might buy some warm clothes for the animals...

Some time later, Happy Zoo reconvenes with their purchases. Biscuit got a snuffle mat, Nero got a box, and Leona got...a mountain of clothes for the bigger animals in the shelter. The fact that they even *had* such large articles is a surprise, but it turns out a bunch of people tend to raise bigger animals as pets or guards. Leona's constant thinking of the animals in her care briefly guilt-trips Biscuit and Nero, but the Happy Zoo leader assures that rewarding themselves every now and again isn't a bad thing as they move to pay up.

The protagonist offers to bill everything to his account, but Leona insists on paying for her own purchases. A back-and-forth insistence ensues, with Leona muttering how she wants to do something for "them" herself for once. Leona finally asserts that she's going to pay for the animals' clothes herself, and the shopping trip comes to a close.

With the shopping over, Happy Zoo's thoughts turn back to the shelter. Biscuit and Nero are worried about how Guillotine and the animals are doing, but Leona seems assured. Worries allayed, Biscuit's stomach signals a collective hunger pang from Happy Zoo. Leona decides to treat everyone to a meal at a restaurant she's been wanting to try...

Said restaurant happens to be Royal Fine Dining, one of the most renowned restaurants on Royal Road. The protagonist is concerned that this may be a bit expensive for a simple outing, but Leona insists on treating everyone, so they all step inside...

The group is escorted to their table and makes their orders, though Leona suddenly orders an extra *30 uncooked steaks* to be packed with the rest of it. Turns out she's also getting some treats for the animals she looks after, as she's been a little tough on them lately and wanted to apologize.

After an amazing meal, the group steps outside to find it's gotten dark already. While marveling over the great time they had, Nero becomes curious; why did Leona go through with all this? The outing, the fancy restaurant, and all. Leona tries to couch it as giving Happy Zoo a break, but Nero isn't convinced...

The squad works hard to ensure the animals of the Ark are safe and happy at all times, so whenever the shelter closed down, they'd remain with the animals to keep them from getting stressed. But this time, Leona had them all leave the shelter and entrust care of the animals to a third party. What could have possibly brought this on?

Sighing, Leona reveals why she *actually* brought everyone on an outing; it was a test, both for the animals and for Happy Zoo. To see if both sides would be okay without each other. Leona assures that it's *not* because the shelter is closing permanently. But the fact remains that the official warnings and closures are getting more frequent. She isn't worried about the cats and dogs in the shelter, but for the animals she personally handles, the lions, the wolves, the birds of prey...she didn't know if they could live without her, or she could without them. As part of that, she wanted to get her squad's opinion on how a day spent not being with the animals was for them...

Biscuit admits she's worried about the dogs, but not to the point where she'll drop everything and hightail it back. Nero is more concerned that *Guillotine* may be suffering under the animals. After a moment, Leona admits she's also fine even without the animals, and is certain Guillotine won't be treated too harshly by their furred and feathered friends. With a longing to see said friends again, the group heads back to the shelter...

### Beasts of the Shelter

Happy Zoo returns to the shelter only to find the lights are off for some reason. Leona switches the lights on only for Guillotine to start snarling at them. After the ~~chuuni~~ eccentric babbles in her usual vernacular, Leona manages to get her to speak in actual conversational language.

The long and short of it is that a protest group tried to break into the shelter, claiming that they were going to send the "dangerous animals" back to the surface. In response, Guillotine locked down the shelter and pretended the facility was devoid of people. As a result of this incident, the Central Government has declared that the shelter will be closed for an additional week. It's unwelcome news for Happy Zoo, but they appreciate Guillotine keeping the animals safe and calm during the fuss. After bidding Happy Zoo goodbye, Guillotine slips away into the night...

Now by themselves, Happy Zoo has to contend with the fact that their "surprise break" is a lot longer than they'd expected. Biscuit and Nero step inside to make sure the animals are sound asleep, leaving the protagonist with Leona. The Happy Zoo leader assures she's alright, that she was expecting something like this to happen sooner or later. Still reeling from shock, Leona asks the protagonist if he thinks the shelter's animals are as wild and dangerous as the protestors claim.

He answers that on one hand, they still have their claws and fangs, and instinct is something you can't just excise from an animal. On the other, their instincts and urges have undoubtedly dulled from their time spent in captivity, where they're reliant on humans for most of their needs. Thanking Zoo Keeper for his answers, Leona steps elsewhere to think things over. Deciding to give her some space, the protagonist goes back to the Command Center...

That night, Leona stares at Timi, asleep in his cage. Lined up along that cage are the cages for all of the other large animals, just as tranquil as Timi is. Leona murmurs that she *knows* they're not as threatening as people think they are, but wonders if what she's doing is the right choice. Is keeping them here *really* for their protection? Is she just being selfish and unwilling to let them go? What will it take for her to make them all happy?

Happy Zoo convenes as each member reports no issues with the slumbering animals. There's a brief scare when Leona asks them all to pack, but she assures them that the shelter will not permanently close. They'll reopen in a week, but in the meantime, they have to think about managing the animals' health still. The dogs and cats will be fine since they can be let out of their cages to play, but the big ones like the wolves and eagles will doubtlessly go stir-crazy if cooped up for too long. So Leona needs to bring them somewhere else for a bit to stretch their legs/wings. There's only one place she can think of that'd be big enough for all of them and still be safe; the surface. Nero volunteers to stay behind and keep an eye on the shelter while Biscuit accompanies Leona and the protagonist to the surface.

Before they all go to bed, Biscuit and Nero thank Leona for the great time they had outside, even if the day ended on a low note. With their piece said, Happy Zoo turns in for the night...

### Permissions and Conditions

The next day, Leona finishes explaining the situation to the protagonist. He's willing to accompany and help how he can, but there's just one thing he can't quite agree with. The large animals Leona plans to bring to the surface also includes a number of endangered species. The leader of Happy Zoo assures that if anything *does* happen to the animals, she'll take full responsibility for it. The alternative is confining the animals to their cages for an entire week without any chance to go outside of them, which constitutes abuse under animal protection laws. The protagonist agrees to bring up the proposal with his superiors. As Leona leaves to pack her things, the protagonist ponders that he knows *just* the people to ask for this favor...

Mustang immediately rejects the idea as not possible. The animal shelter is jointly operated with an animal rights group, so he can't just unilaterally approve bringing the animals to the surface. The protagonist then wonders why he'd close the shelter for another week if the animals can't be given alternative enrichment space? The Tetra Line CEO admits a week was a bit much, but he saw it as a chance to give Happy Zoo a well-deserved break. The protagonist retorts that Happy Zoo loves the animals too much to just go have fun by themselves and let them languish in cages. Immediately, Mustang smells something fishy, given how he was assured the animals would be properly cared for during the shelter's closure.

Going back on topic, Mustang asks for the motive behind bringing the animals to the surface. The protagonist explains it's a favor for Leona, who wants the animals to reconnect with nature. The showman muses that Leona is a selfless yet determined soul, who won't give up once she's set her mind on something. A real lion-hearted girl, he calls her. After hearing that only Leona's larger creatures would be brought to the surface, Mustang promises to speak with the animal rights group, on the condition that *every* participant, human, Nikke, or animal, comes back safely. Permission secured, the protagonist heads to the shelter to deliver the good news.

Back at the shelter, Biscuit looks over all the stuff Leona has packed for this trip. The clothes and meat make sense, given they were gifts for the animals to begin with. But the water, the insane amount of toys, *a shovel?* Leona couches it as digging a hole and making a mud pit for animals to play in. Biscuit muses that it might be nice, though the cleanup afterward would be a pain. Then the squad notices the protagonist's approach, and note that he must've gotten approval with how fast he's moving. They get ready to give him a warm welcome before they go...

### To the Homeland of the Beasts

Leona chuckles upon hearing Mustang's only condition is the maintained safety of the outing's participants. The protagonist is concerned that his kit hasn't been packed, but it turns out Biscuit already got things with him in mind. Plus, this trip is only going to be a day at most to let the animals stretch their legs, so packing is comparatively light. Any longer than that, and there might be trouble convincing the animals to come back to the Ark and its comparatively cramped shelter. As for the arrangements for transporting the animals...Leona will take Timi and Teddy with her, Biscuit will handle Gray the wolf, and the protagonist will take care of Ruby the eagle. For the last one, Leona hands the protagonist a set of gloves and a whistle, assuring that Ruby isn't an overly rambunctious one. The rest are either small enough to be kept in the cages or well-behaved enough to follow along. Nero bids the three and their animals goodbye as they trek to the shelter's direct surface elevator...

The air of the surface is brisk but pleasant, and the animals are all clearly excited to be out and about. Leona decides to talk about their destination on the way. It's a spacious meadow with a fertile lake, and a few dilapidated houses that can be used for shelter. The perfect place to relax while the animals enjoy themselves...

Suddenly, Ruby jumps off the protagonist and begins flying off, seemingly ignoring his whistling. Panicked, he turns to Leona, who is...not nearly as worried-looking, simply musing that "they" have found her. With only the Happy Zoo leader's cryptic words to go on, the protagonist has to settle for calming down and seeing just what prompted Ruby to go on her own...

Arriving at the meadow, the protagonist and Happy Zoo let the animals loose. The former can see the forested border of the meadow and the lake, both of which are quickly populated by exuberant animals. As Leona ensures Biscuit she has a plan in case the animals don't answer the whistles, the protagonist suddenly remembers that Ruby had flown off earlier...

Leona gestures to a far-off tree, claiming that's where Ruby is. She elaborates that they'd found Ruby, who is actually blind, collapsed at that *specific tree*. They managed to keep her alive, but couldn't do anything for her vision loss. One day, a bunch of eagles swooped in on Leona during one of her surface trips, which turned out to be Ruby's family. They'd smelled their child's scent on her and thought she'd either kidnapped or killed her. It took some explaining, but eventually she managed to reassure the eagles that Ruby was alive and mostly well. Some time later, the eagles relocated their nest close to this area, probably to wait for her return. Ruby's sudden flight was most likely her family beckoning her to come home. She still missed them, however little she showed it. Leona muses that bringing Ruby back here was the right choice, but Biscuit seems to have some reservations, though she choose not to voice them. Leona leaves to set up decoys while Biscuit and the protagonist unpack...

### A Day on the Surface

The sun is halfway down the horizon by the time they finish unpacking. Seeing Biscuit get excited over a stick Gray brought over, the protagonist lets the wolf and dog(girl) run off to play just as Leona returns. Seeing them off, Leona explains that Gray was actually *raised* among dogs, and learned to tone down the howling after Biscuit got spooked without any other influence. Yet she also muses that wolves typically move in packs, and Gray is probably a little lonely being the only one of his kind in the shelter...

Meanwhile, Gray and Biscuit's play is interrupted as the former swivels to a series of howls. It sounds as though a wolfpack is nearby, but Leona isn't concerned about an attack. Gray is here, after all. Like that, the two watch as the canines and other animals frolic in the field for the rest of the day...

Night falls, and Leona whistles to signal dinner time to the animals. Biscuit is excited to see that today's meal is a special one; vegetable and kibble soup. Fortunately, a separate meal has been prepared for the protagonist, since he has neither the pallet nor biology to subsist on kibble. As Leona divvies up portions and hears Ruby and Gray's tales of catching fish, Biscuit notices something. *Timi isn't here...*

Wondering where the lion could have gone, Leona blows the whistle again, but there's no response. There's a brief moment of worry and Biscuit proposes splitting up to search for him, but Leona's mind seems to be elsewhere right now. But before a search can actually begin, a growl is heard in the distance as Timi pads over.

While Leona sighs over how Timi apparently *got lost*, of all things, Biscuit is relieved to see everyone is safe and accounted for. Even with that, the protagonist can't shake this feeling of unease...

### A Beast's Rightful Place

Unable to fall asleep, the protagonist steps outside and finds Leona and Biscuit also awake. With none of them really inclined to go back to bed, they decide to sit and talk for a while. After Leona briefly teases Biscuit over her being scared of all the bigger animals, the canine caretaker of Happy Zoo has a question to ask. Ruby seemed really happy to be with her family, to the point where they have to consider...she might not want to go back to the shelter...

It's a worthwhile question, given how things seem. Ruby was happy in the shelter, yes, but never as happy as she is *now*, with her family and all this open space to spread her wings. After airing some other worries about the other animals, Biscuit shakes off her concerns. The animals are all well-behaved and gentle. This is probably just the excitement making them act a little out of hand...right? The three then chatter away until the protagonist finally falls asleep...

The next day, the protagonist wakes up. Biscuit is still snoozing away, but Leona and Timi are nowhere to be found. The scenery is almost picturesque, given how there's no one...to be...seen...

Frantically, the protagonist whips around trying to find Leona and the other animals. He eventually finds a trail of footprints and follows it, leading him to Leona's location. Despite being caught flatfooted at how early Zoo Keeper woke up, Leona is still set on going through with her plan; to release the animals back into the wild.

Leona explains that she always found it odd. The point of taking and raising these animals was to protect endangered species, yet that means humans are taking animals that were originally living on the surface and consigning them to a confined life underground. This is juxtaposed by all the naysayers who claim that the shelter's animals are dangerous wild beasts, even though anyone who actually patronizes the shelter knows they're as docile as can be. The protagonist can get where she's coming from, as even knowing every creature here has been tamed by Leona's efforts, he can't shake the primal unease of knowing that apex predators are in his immediate vicinity...

The protagonist wonders if the shelter's extended closure was what prompted Leona to release the animals. It's not, but it did provide her with a basis for her belief; these animals will never know a full life if they stay in the Ark. Leona pleads for the protagonist not to stop her or persuade her against this plan...and he's not going to. He asserts he has no right to, that qualification lies solely with Leona, who has lived and worked alongside these animals up to now. She's dead-set on the idea that this is the correct course of action. Even if she'll miss all her furred and feathered friends, she can always come back here and see them again. They're all kind and gentle, after all...

Leona turns to the animals and declares that they're all free to go. Seeing Timi pad over to her, the lion tamer muses over the time they spent together. Timi had first come to her as a cub small enough to fit in one hand, and before anyone knew it, he went from a small, frail looking thing to the proud lion she sees now, in body and in spirit. That's why she trusts him to do what he thinks is right, and lead the other animals. So she undoes Timi's collar, and gently pushes him away from her...

Timi turns and takes one step after another, the rest of the animals following suit. After taking in the awe-inspiring sight the procession displays, Leona and the protagonist turn back to their camp. If they stay here any longer...she might change her mind and chase after them. Especially now that Timi, who was practically her other half, is gone. The protagonist leads Leona away from the animals, refusing to look back...

Leona wakes up Biscuit, who is still snoozing away. After shaking off the last bit of drowsiness, the dog(girl) swivels and notices the animals are gone. The main thing she's concerned about it Timi, who looked like he didn't want to stay on the surface even after being late for dinner last night. Leona tries to assert that Timi going back to the wild is the right choice, only for Biscuit to tell her to look behind...

Leona looks back to see a teary-eyed Timi before her, refusing to leave. The lion growls, which she interprets as him saying his place of belonging is by her side. Try as she might to convince him otherwise, Timi insists on staying with Leona. Eventually, Leona relents, accepting Timi will stay with her now and forever. She promises that she will protect and care for him as best she can, and never betray this trust. Leona and Timi's foreheads press together as they close their eyes. They will be each other's reason to keep on, and be each other's place of belonging...

Back at the shelter, Nero is quick to deduce that everyone except Timi was released back to the wild. Neither she nor Biscuit are very broken up about the secrecy. They have faith in their leader and the motives for her actions. Leona promises to consult with everyone going forward before she pulls things like this, and gives her gratitude to everyone for helping her out as Happy Zoo goes back to their usual routines...

The shelter is still closed, and it's become a little emptier without some of its inhabitants. But the laughter that echoes within its walls rings louder than before. Surely, that joy must travel along the wind, and reach the surface...

### Hard Mode Epilogue - The Price of Happiness

Leona and the protagonist are in a meeting with Mustang, who is *not* happy to hear that Happy Zoo unilaterally released a number of their animals. But Leona accepts responsibility for her actions, and even put tracking chips on all the releases, so he's mollified with that, especially given what he's found out lately...

An inquiry into the animal rights group cooperating with the shelter revealed that *the organization itself* was the source of complaints regarding the shelter's bigger animals. Meaning that they *fabricated complaints* to try and expel the animals from the Ark. The vacation orders for Happy Zoo were *also* fabricated so that they could slip into the shelter and abduct the animals. It was only Guillotine's presence and quick thinking that stopped that plan, but with their previous attempts foiled, the group tried to extend the shelter's closure to buy time for another plot. With all this now in the open, Mustang has an important question to ask; Did Leona *know* about these background manipulations when she released the animals?

Leona claims that whether or not she knew of any such plot, she would've gone through and released the animals, as it was the best choice to make them happy. Mustang commends the Happy Zoo leader on her resolve, but that won't change what's happened. The Ark has lost a number of animal assets due to the unauthorized actions of Happy Zoo, and Leona must take responsibility as its leader and the main culprit. Mustang reveals the punishment is...revoking Leona's animal handling authorizations, meaning she can no longer work at the shelter and take care of Timi. Leona is taken aback...at how light the punishment is?

It turns out that removing her privileges can't really stick, as reinstating Leona's credentials is a simple matter of her taking and passing the relevant exam. Mustang believes that Leona has punished herself enough losing nearly all of the animals she cared for, and is willing to consider the matter settled. Besides, he still has to hunt down and prosecute the people who tried to abduct the animals.

Having said all the needed to be said, Mustang leaves Leona with caring for the animals who've been released on the surface. Leona asserts that it goes without saying. Once an animal has been in her care, she will *never* give up on them.
