Before we get the next chapters (2 weeks from now?) we do have that one really juicy panel.
In this one panel, I see no fewer than 9 elements to discuss, and 7 of those are brand new, too!
The man on the train: I thought it was a plane at first, but upon reflection I think a train makes more sense with that enormous window. Is that guy Sakura's dad? Or one in a long list of guardians?
The social workers: which I think is what they are based on the suits and the name tags.
The desk: according to @ishihirasenma, the writing on the desk reads "disgusting kid".
The grandparents: I'm only calling them that because they look old, I don't know if they are literally Sakura's grandparents. (They could be, though. I really don't know.)
The kids: two of them are smiling the evil smile, and the third one is frowning, which is interesting. Usually, when any members of a group are doing the evil smile, the whole group is. Maybe the other two kids said or did something so that the third kid would get angry at Sakura?
The shed: we know the shed, from the Kiryu backstory chapters.
The owners of the shed: also introduces in the Kiryu backstory chapters. They were probably Sakura's guardians at one point, but I don't think they were the only guardians he had. (The social workers and the grandparents would support that.)
The backpack: more traces of bullying, with the contents being so messy.
The cats: I don't know what to think about those. I'm afraid to find out. Did something happen to the cats? Did Sakura have cats at one point and they were taken away from him? Are the cats just decorative, to fill out the panel? (Probably not that last one, huh?)
Anyway, yeah! That's a lot of information we can infer from one panel! Some of which we had reason to suspect before, but the beginnings of confirmation don't hurt. It also gives us plenty to think and talk about until the next chapter comes out.
