Several times throughout the book a teenage boy is called a slur that is later revealed to mean ´child of rape´. Chapter 2: a young man touches the face of a teenage girl without her consent. She manages to chase him off. He later returns with another man. It is implied this man wants to rape her. Very short scenes and both men get killed by the girl before they can harm her. Chapter 16: a boy wants to buy a girl a drink, she declines. He becomes pushy and grabs her wrist, but his boss stops him before he can harass her any further. Chapter 20: a teenage boy reveals that he was conceived as a result of rape and that his grandfather detested him: seeing his grandson's face reminded him of his daughter's rapist. Chapter 25: the same boy reveals that when he was born he was frail, and his mother was told to drown him as his people would never accept him. His mother refused, and as a result was shunned from society. Chapter 30: a teenage boy who does not have any teeth reveals he was enslaved in a pleasure house when he was young. The main character then states that she finally understands why the boy doesn't have any teeth, but does not elaborate. Short conversation (one paragraph), but it could still be disturbing to some.
