Random thought but the Miles Morales game made me think of it. Gwen gave her hamster Pine Cone over to Bodega Bandit after his dog got eaten by the Lizard. But the first time we see said hamster was it nomming on the corndogs Gwen bulk bought to lure out the Lizards in the sewers.
So...did Gwen just stuff her hamster into her backpack and swing around town with it? Why? That seems really weird for her since she doesn’t seem like the type to take pets along on patrol. Even worse she had to keep it from getting eaten by the Lizards, which was something she really should’ve seen coming.
