Ryūko listened to Jake's entire story as the two walked to Honnouji. And he told her everything... well, at least everything he knew about Pandora. Which, given that he has the brain capacity of a 12 year old, isn't much. But it was still enough for Ryūko to piece together what Jake and his world is like.
"So, the short version is, you're a psychopath on a wasteland planet full of them?" Ryūko guessed.
"In a nutshell, yes." Jake answered.
"Great..." Ryūko groaned as she only now realized she was walking with a fucking nut job.
The two continued walking down the bridge... that is, until they stopped in front of... what Jake could only assume was a city built on a mountain.
"Woah." He said.

"Uh, is this the place?" Jake asked.
"Yeah, it is." Ryūko replied with a bitter edge in her voice.
Jake noticed how Ryūko was glaring at the large building at the top of the mountain. The look he saw in her eyes was a look he was all too familiar with.
She was looking for someone. Someone she does not like. And whoever it is was likely to be here.
"Honnouji Academy." Ryūko said.
Timeskip
The two walked through the slums of Honnō City. As they walked, Ryūko bought a lemon for herself and asked if Jake wanted anything. When he declined, the two continued walking.
Oh, and if you're wondering why no one's asked about Jake's appearance yet, it's because Ryūko told him that the people at Honnouji and Honnō City probably weren't used to seeing aliens, and should therefore hide his ears and tail. His ears were underneath his hood, and he stuffed his tail in his pants and wrapped it around his leg.
Anyway, the two continued walking. They noticed that, despite being the slums, it wasn't too bad. Sure, there were a few people with cuts and bruises here and there, and it was a little crowded. But overall, it seemed to be doing well for the slums.
A boy then accidentally runs into Ryūko and bumps into Jake.
"Whoops, sorry!" He exclaims.
Ryūko rolled her eyes and scoffed.
"Wow, that kid must good." Jake said.
"Good at what?" Ryūko asked.
"Swiping sh*t. He took that lemon right from your hand, and you didn't even notice." Jake replied.
Ryūko then looked at her hand and noticed that he was right. Her lemon was indeed gone.
The two then peered over the railing and watched as the boy was surprised to see that he had swiped a lemon instead of a wallet.
