5.0
Graphic: Body horror, Gore, and Violence
Moderate: Child abuse, Pedophilia, Incest, Physical abuse, Emotional abuse, Sexual assault, Blood, and Panic attacks/disorders
Minor: Gun violence, Police brutality, Child death, Murder, Suicide, and Hate crime
Minor warnings mostly apply to backstory/worldbuilding information provided early on. Child abuse (emotional, physical, and implied sexual) is heavily discussed and thematically relevant but not actually shown on-page, nor is it described in explicit detail.
