In the beginning a character shows cuts that appear to be due to self harm. Later a character states that she tried to kill herself and shows a scar claiming it to be due to her attempt, but then laughs and states it was where she fell on a shelf while rollarblading. She then states if she were to self harm, the cuts would be more severe

Among the things on the cult’s manifesto is that menstruation doesn’t determine gender. The cult is shown as evil, although it’s unclear whether everything on the manifesto is also supposed to be read as such.
