New Yorkers are so used to seeing big, disgusting rats that they probably didn't even blink an eye seeing these to human-sized ones. That's just a byproduct of living in New York. You know that one day you're going to get mugged, and that you might see some human-sized rats. It's the trade off for having such great theater. You just might have to sit next to a rodent while you watch Hamilton.

It's like this is their usual routine. Go out for wine and cheese in their rodent costumes. Whatever makes the relationship work, right? If your partner asks you to dress up as a rat, dress up as a rat.
