Content Warnings

Graphic: Physical abuse, Bullying, Violence, Sexism, and Injury/Injury detail

Moderate: Pandemic/Epidemic, Medical trauma, Alcohol, Death, Medical content, Fire/Fire injury, and Slavery

The ending has some dated ideas about the Middle East, and the discussions about gender are still in terms of a binary. Also, be aware of a scene involving menstruation.
