Ruins
You're digging in the dirt when you find a tiger and a cactus. You keep digging until you realize that these are a part of some big ruins. They're the ruins of tiger and cactus statues. It looks like whoever used to live here worshiped tigers and cacti. Or maybe they ate them. But now their whole civilization is just ruins.
Imagine looking through these ruins. Picture the broken tiger and cactus statues. Try to imagine the people who used to live here before it turned to ruins.

Well, as it turns out, these are the ruins of Little Kyoto (きょ), the city that existed before the modern day one. And it looks like the citizens of Little Kyoto faced their end a long time ago.
Picture the ruins of Little Kyoto. Try to imagine what it was like before the whole place fell apart. Maybe they would have lived on if they hadn't been doing things with sharp cacti and bitey tigers.
