Content Warnings
Moderate: Murder and Injury/Injury detail
Minor: Child death, Emotional abuse, Sexual assault, and Stalking
One main content warning which is also a spoiler is antisemitism because the historical death mystery line is that Sonja survived a concentration camp, moved to the boarding school, and ended up living in the same town as a former prison guard of the camp. Even though Sonja was not Jewish, the school dismissed her disappearance because antisemitism and BIG SPOILER: prison guard murdered her.
