Description

A young child dressed in a bright yellow Pikachu costume stands near the edge of a dark urban street, a crowd of adults and children behind. The child wears a yellow hooded jacket with Pikachu ears and matching pants. The crowd is lined up behind a curb, and an adult man stands apart from the crowd across the street. The image is shot at night with dim, ambient lighting. The ground is wet, and the crowd seems to be waiting. The child appears solemn.
