A note on the content warning tags:
The "graphic violence" tag is primarily in use in relation to descriptions of how the carnivorous garden plants handle their victims, which may be disturbing to some readers. There is rarely active violence in the story itself.
The "disturbing content" tag is in relation to traumatic events that have occurred to characters in the past and their current affect on those characters, not in relation to current story events.
