Throughout the story, there will be mentions of the COVID-19 pandemic, especially during the height of the pandemic lockdown in 2020, including mentions of deaths and long-term illnesses related to COVID-19.
The story is not about the pandemic itself, but does not ignore it, and there will be events or backstory that will tie with the pandemic.
Side note:
The story is not rated mature, but the author would personally rate it PG-13 to be safe, as there will be parts of the story that allude to the characters doing sexual activities, but nothing is explicitly described. Explicit language may also be used (e.g. curse words without being censored).
All main characters are above the age of 18.
The warning under this line may contain spoilers, so proceed with care!
