Bun is autistic coded to me. Doesn't understand jokes. Doesn't lie. Is very honest. Has a niche way of explaining things. 

The story is dark with topics of child abuse and suicide as well as sexual assault. 

A group of young adults especially busking boy take care of bun. She comes from a very abusive family of a mother who is obsessive order and a father who's not around. To a point where she doesn't even get her period anymore until she meets these people. 

They have a lot of ups and downs. Alot of loss. Alot of scary moments. But I liked this found family. It was sad. But it was nice to see Bun to be cared for.
