The male lead tells a story of going to a freakshow at a circus when he was little where he saw a "half-man, half-woman". He refers to them by both "he/him" and "it/its" pronouns

All the teens are played by actors who do not actually have the mental disorders that their characters do (most prominently Lisa, who has D.I.D.).

One of the characters has a recurring nightmare where he executes people he knows with the sharpened hands of a clock. The executions themselves are not shown, but there is blood visible during these sequences
