Anne consistently cuts herself. The protagonist Gemma sees her scars, but doesn't see her in the act of cutting. We do see Anne in the act of holding her hand over a fire, though.

Multiple instances of hate speech against Romani people. They are only referred to as the slur g*psies throughout the book. Some characters refer to them as riffraff and say they should be cleared out.
