Re: Rape

Anne finds out that someone was pressured into sex, but this is mentioned very briefly and only the once. There are no consequences of this information coming to light.

Re: Excrement

Anne often records her bowel movements and sometimes mentions them if they're relevant to a medical diagnosis.
