Let's put the gods' work aside for now and return to Hao Ren. By this point, he had already led the two of them—including a cat—away from Raven 12345's villa and was walking along the only commercial street in the South Suburbs. "Roll" kept looking around and taking in the scenery. Several times, she almost dropped back onto all fours, and it was only because Hao Ren kept his eyes on her that nothing went wrong.
This was Cat Girl's first time observing the once-familiar streets from a human perspective. She had completed her transformation in the wilderness last night, then instinctively gone home to sleep early in the morning. She hadn't had the chance to properly see the outside world yet.
