A female character has a seizure and falls unconscious while arguing with a male character. After she is unconscious, the male character starts removing her clothing and fondling her. He is stopped before raping her, but he clearly would have done that if not interrupted. Later, whenever he reflected on this incident, he tells himself that she was so alluring that "she did it to him." A child character is forcibly institutionalized. The other patients are mostly adult men. One of the attendants is a sexual predator and takes advantage of boys, knowing they either are incapable of speaking against him or won't be believed if they do. This predator prepares to rape the main child character, but he is interrupted.
