Content Warnings
Graphic: Death, Sexual content, and Grief
Moderate: Sexual harassment
Minor: Suicidal thoughts
In the past multiple characters lost their spouses in accidents (a car crash and a drowning).
As a potential intimate partner violence content warning, there is a scene where an angry ex-boyfriend arrives unexpectedly, yells at the protagonist, insults her, and throws her belongings around the room.
