* CerebusSyndrome: This happens in Chapter 7. For the first six chapters, the story is relatively light-hearted, focusing on Harriet helping Charlie raise awareness for climate change. While there are a couple of serious moments (such as Harriet's family having to contend with their business possibly failing due to the fish dying off and Principal Strickler's antagonistic ways), it's nothing too threatening. But in Chapter 7, Charlie is slandered due to her activist behaviour (and has to deal with people posting horrible comments about her, with one even including a ''SuicideDare''), Harriet and her long-time best friend Eddie have a falling out, the citizens of Cedarport will no longer listen to Harriet, and the end of the chapter features a gruesome image of a DeadAnimalWarning, directed against Harriet. This is also the first chapter with a ContentWarning, and for good reason.
