TikTok user @literallykaseyy was the first to upload her video featuring her saying, "Sometimes people are like, 'Why'd you move back to New York?' And I was like, 'I don't know, I just really love the ambience and there's such a charm to the city, you know?'" paired with this hilarious video of a subway rat:
