on content related to child death, in increasing level of spoilers:
* something that is characterized as a child is killed
* the protagonists kill a monstrous, nonhuman being that is characterized as a child
* at the end of the story, the protagonists kill off the fungal infection that the story revolves around. previously the fungus had been shown as akin to a child, and a prominent character begged for it to be cared for, loved, and taught. the protagonists were horrified of its potential and its method of existence, and so killed it with fire, so to speak
