Description

A prominent secondary female character is barraged with (unspecified) lewd comments from a band of soldiers. Later some of those soldiers attack her and while nothing explicit is shown, it is strongly implied that they attempted to rape her before her brother interceded. The narrative shows her coping with trauma in the aftermath, though it is not the focus of the story.
