- Background music of varying volumes

- Emotional distress from the outset

- Implications of child neglect

- Emotive responses to emotional neglect by a parent

- Audible crying and sniffling

- Shouting (audio adjusted so it's not much louder than other audio, but it retains a 'shouty'/angry tone)

- Static

- Distorted audio (echo effect)

- Background sound effects of various volumes

- Main characters ignoring the distress of other main characters

- Sounds of pain/discomfort

- Muttering/unclear audio

- Some loss of autonomy in a main character (this is implied rather than massively visceral; think escalating unintended negative consequences rather than coughing up a chess piece)
