Tokyo, Japan - June 10, 2026: A man in a blue and black uniform pushes a hand cart stacked with cardboard boxes across an asphalt street, a few steps past a dead rat lying on the road. The blue platform cart carries two large cartons topped with a white plastic bag, and two smaller boxes printed with the words Iyoshi Cola. The rat lies on its side with a red wound on its body, a short distance behind the cart's wheels. Two parked bicycles frame the foreground, one with a plastic crate and a black cart strapped to its rear rack. Behind the man stands a blue and white truck marked with the company name Runtec in Japanese lettering. Pedestrians walk along the sidewalk past an open storefront in the background.
