Florian’s father was executed, some of the other characters’ parents are implied to be potentially dead, and Poet (who acts as a grandfather figure to much if the group, especially Klaus) has a very emotional drowning scene.

There is a *very* brief description of a few people *from* a mental institution being on board the ship, and one of the characters belittles them in his head.

There is very brief mention now and then of people being packed together in close quarters. I wouldn’t call it a claustrophobic scene.

In a singular sentence later on in the book, a background character holds a gun to their head. We don't see them shoot, but it's heavily implied they did.
