Everything I said a few days ago about the previous Valencian Miku can be applied to this version; if Hebe's reflected the silk craftsmanship in her colors, this one by Merymdm shows it in the drawings. Mery has paid more attention to the "aderezo" (the jewelry) and Hebe has personalized it more to Miku's figure.
What would be an American metaphorical equivalent to this? We're so car-centric here I can't even register how any European train transit could be so dysfunctional so as to be memed upon.
Anti-globalism, despite depending on nations with some of the highest human rights abuses for their arms and weapons materials. Then also exploiting the impoverishment of the global South to recruit mercenaries by dangling large paychecks, bonuses, and an opportunity to obtain a Russian passport because their own nation's passports grant little access to other countries. Shouldn't be forgotten too the large number of cargo planes loaded with gold that Russia flew out of impoverished African nations operated by governments in the pocket of the Russian government.
For a country claiming to fight for the global South they certainly don't hesitate to exploit them, nor have issues aligning themselves with nations who also don't hesitate to trample on poorer nations.

This footbridge was made somewhat famous by being featured in wintertime in Kimi no Na wa., and the rail bridge is also featured from this side in Tenki no Ko.
Fun fact, this is also the station closest to Shiina Taki's home, which is right across the bridge (to the left on this image) which this station is named after.
