Content Warnings
Moderate: Transphobia and Outing
Minor: Panic attacks/disorders, Medical content, and Sexual harassment
Various scenes depict characters drinking and smoking. A lot of societal pressures are at play in regards to betrothal and obligation, particularly with the main family dynamic. There is technically no overt transphobia, as the central character never openly labels himself, but there are definite negative reactions to men and masculine-presenting people wearing feminine-coded clothing.
