A female main character discusses that because she has red hair, she has been the interest of slavers and ‘perverts.’ In a later chapter, the same female character explains that young girls with red hair are raped and violated on the grounds that their blood contains powers of blessing and can cure injuries on men’s genitals. The character says that she has been aware of this for the majority of her life, and she has dyed her hair as a result. A male side character (who is described to be around the age of twenty) expresses romantic and sexual interest in a female main character who is implied to be around the age of seventeen. Although there is no actual relationship or intercourse, the female character pretends to return his interest, and after his death, pretends that they had intercourse. A male side character has a POV chapter where he thinks sexually about a girl (17) who has no interest in him. In this chapter, he also expresses similar interest in another girl (implied to be around the same age as the first, though this isn't explicitly stated) and follows her to her room with plans to assault her. A female character is a victim of an attempted assault, which is described after the fact and in a few sentences. It is described that he choked her and tried to take her clothes off. This attempted assault is mentioned multiple times after it occurs, and the female character’s self defence is at one point, shamed by a much older man who tells her she should have let the man assault her and tried to enjoy it until he finished.
