When the camera pans away, we hear a slap. It is implied the woman slapped the man across the face, but could potentially be triggering.

Our main character talks about his father not being there for him. One of the main plot points is that he is pretending to be a girls dad because her father isn’t in the picture. No depictions or flashbacks of any of this happening, just mentioned.

An older man asks our main character about if he prays. He says he hasn’t since he was 15. Brief scene and at the end our MC prays at a shrine out of respect.
