There is a detective attempting to solve a murder both in the prologue sections as well as in the flashback sequences after Act 2, but I wouldn’t necessarily call it copaganda.

Two of the characters who are in a relationship start to argue more and more frequently, culminating in the man becoming physically aggressive (no outright beating, but grabbing/shoving and the woman is described as having bruises after the fact).

SPOILERS + TW:
Most characters use some drug by the end of the story, but a major character does so often and on-page to the point of an OD.

NOT graphically or on-page, but it is alluded to a few times and there are a couple potentially triggering scenes where a character seems to be pressuring another into kissing despite their discomfort/ambivalence.

Not a "ghost" per se, but as in Shakespearean fashion, a character feels like another character is haunting him and mentions moments of "seeing" that person (in dreams, flashbacks, etc.)

Arguably? Oliver frequently flips back and forth between Meredith and James and appears unfaithful to the former in his support and attention to the latter.

two characters are implied to have drown, there is an on-page scene where someone nearly drowns in a fight, and all of these are discussed frequently, so if this is a trigger please be careful while reading.
