For the record, they’re in Koblenz, the town in which (according to Shine canon, at least) Rip grew up. It was occupied by France during WWI, was badly damaged during WWII, and is now part of Germany, so I doubt it looks anything like she remembers.

But it’s not human. It has cat ears, and this isn’t Japan.
