5.0
Graphic: Ableism, Death, and Panic attacks/disorders
Moderate: Animal death, Confinement, Cursing, Toxic relationship, Blood, Grief, Murder, and Injury/Injury detail
Minor: Domestic abuse
Also contains: ghosts, spirits, and necromancy; possession (of a bird and a spirit); allusions to child sexual assault/pedophilia and child murder (these are only vaguely implied and part of a plot to frame somebody for these crimes, but they did not commit them. ); the toxic relationship seems mutual and fulfilling to some end for both parties. There is no physical violence between them; The references to domestic abuse are short and happen in the scene where Adam’s father comes to intimidate Adam into withdrawing his charges against him. No domestic abuse actually happens.
