4.5
Graphic: Body horror, Confinement, Gore, and Fire/Fire injury
Moderate: Deadnaming, Grief, Injury/Injury detail, Suicidal thoughts, and Blood
Minor: Self harm and Suicide attempt
In re: self harm and the suicide attempt,
A character realizes that everyone at the house has a healing factor. In order to test this, he uses a razor to cut his arms (off-panel, although his bloody arms are shown later) and then his throat (on-panel, but he cannot die and knows this).
TLDR while the acts of self harm and suicide attempt are present they’re not connected to the typical emotional baggage of those CWs.
