A face not even a mother could love.
- The hate crime that destroyed Conor's music career. Surrounded by a gang led by the Schoolyard Bully All Grown Up, Conor is unable to defend himself as he relives his childhood trauma of being beaten up from all sides. With his hands mangled and pride shattered, you'd think the police would do something to catch the culprits, right? Unfortunately, not really.
- Conor undergoing conversion therapy with the reverend. It's disturbingly accurate to what most congregations do to suppress LGBTQ youths of their orientation. The scene itself will likely trigger readers who've experienced this torturous practice themselves.
- Simon being made the target of public disgust and animosity after his boss leaks the sex videos he was forced to perform in. If being Forced Out of the Closet in such a way is bad enough, imagine how he must have felt at the sight of so many people wanting him dead after his trial.
- The Reveal that Veronica caused the aforementioned events to happen. She bribed the W.A.F. to beat up Conor, personally gaslit him into forgetting his ex, and made sure that only Simon would be picked by T-Rex. If not for Conor and Simon getting back together, she would have gotten away with it all.
- In chapter 67, Simon has an actual nightmare where Conor happily leaves him for Veronica and they have multiple kids together. While the Unbalanced By Rival's Kid factor is bad enough, the scene switches to Simon strangling Pete's neck with Gale goading him to The Dark Side. It's implied Conor may have dreamt up something similar as well in a previous chapter.
- Half the stuff Gale does to his victims will make you retch even if they've done things deserving them.
