some more content notes: lengthy discussions of the sudden death of a parent, and the sudden death of a sibling (as memories from the past, not current events). / there is a creepy relationship which is never explicitly said to be pedophilic or incestuous but is sort of implied that it might be, and it involves some stalking. there is no violence against the child, however. / there is also a scene in which a character asks the protagonist to choke her during sex which brings him to some dark psychological places. / the rape scene is a dream/fantasy and does not occur in "real life." / there is a decapitation scene which is brief but bloody and graphic. / there is discussion of war crimes including the various mass killings of nazi germany, kristallnacht, and the nanking massacre.
