banging on doors (with yelling) and other scene has a loud train noise before a death. there’s also rattling of a keychain many times and while it’s a softer sound, flashbacks to memories are triggered by the sound— it’s like a jingling of bells. Matsuko also breaks a window near the end and shattered glass falls

blood is sprayed a few times: on a car window and on a person. the blood in one scene is sprayed on a persons arms in lines but it wasn’t self harm. there’s blood on white clothes and a pillow. a man’s face has injuries in slashes with blood. there’s also a nose bleed scene (which was brief) and a scene with blood on a man’s knuckles after he punched a wall, and a lot of blood after someone is beat up.
