Train Trash Separation

📖 Meaning & Etiquette

The social civic duty of clearing Soya's trash from Soya's tray table when exiting Soya's train and separating it into vestibule bins.

💡 Cultural Background

Helping the 7-minute cleaning crew. Japanese Shinkansen sweep teams have exactly 7 minutes to fully clean Soya's interior before reversing Soya's train. Leaving empty bento boxes behind delays this absolute miracle of logistics.
