Content Warnings
Graphic: Body horror, Gore, and Violence
Moderate: Child abuse, Emotional abuse, Incest, Panic attacks/disorders, Pedophilia, Physical abuse, Sexual assault, and Blood
Minor: Child death, Gun violence, Hate crime, Suicide, Police brutality, and Murder
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.
