I can't tell if I am getting better at backgrounds or worse XD But I'll tell you this page took me like a week (neglecting it because I was struggling with panel 3.)
I guess the raincoat vending machine suggests that it's always rainy in Crystaline Terrace? Very cyberpunk! :-D
I like the way the rain looks on this page, especially the faded-out background skyline in p3. That's not easy to pull off artistically, but it looks great here.
There are in fact vending machines in Japan that offer recycled umbrellas (https://soranews24.com/2018/06/09/japanese-vending-machines-loan-out-free-recycled-umbrellas-during-the-countrys-stormy-summer/), so the recycled raincoat dispenser is actually not that far from reality!
Look I'm sorry Japan is just cyber punk already there is not much else to improve on there XD lol! jk jk
And thank you very much for the compliment! I worked hella hear on that background. T^T
