chapter-by-chapter
The following list of warnings are specific to each chapter and should be ADDED to the general warnings list. If it's in the general warning list, it won't be duplicated here. Instead, it will be more specific/detailed.
CHAPTER 5
Dubious Consent/Consensual Non-Consent (it's revealed later in flashbacks that Rayze requests what happens, but that's not obvious at first and could be potentially triggering.)
CHAPTER 20
Visceral description of torture done to a parent. While it's briefly described (only a few sentences), it's still very dark. If you're sensitive to gore, please use caution.
CHAPTER 23
Attempted sexual assault/rape, as well as extreme gore and a dark cliffhanger for the end of Part One.
