Content Warnings

Graphic: Death and Body horror

Moderate: Child abuse

Minor: Drug use, Drug abuse, and Car accident

To elaborate on content warnings:

Death and body horror are pretty self explanatory here. Animal death: A rabbit is killed and its dead body is described in detail. Child abuse: There is a scene where a mother gets frustrated while changing a baby and hits the baby repeatedly on the legs. This is kind of glossed over by the narrative and never brought up again. Car accident: a character drives over a cliff off page. They survive but are injured. We see the aftermath but not in graphic detail. Drug use/abuse: no drugs are actually used but several characters suggest that erratic behaviour and changes in temperament in two of the main cast are caused by covert drug use
