Higurashi is a very dark canon in and of itself, and Satoko's role in the story can be extremely triggering. Prior to Gou, her story is wrapped up in severe child abuse after her parents died, when she was taken in by her aunt and uncle. She suffers from a considerable amount of psychosis and paranoia due to having succumbed to Hinamizawa Syndrome when she was little and pushing her parents off a cliff in a paranoid haze because she believed they were going to hurt her.
In Gou and Sotsu however, Satoko goes from a clear cut victim to a villain and perpetrator. She gets wrapped up in a timeloop after spending her teenage years rapidly losing hold of all of her friendships and being isolated and abandoned (it's more complicated than that but) at a deeply horrible private school, and starts using her power to toy with her close friends, manipulating them into spiralling through paranoia until they start killing one another. She does this with the goal of breaking the will of the girl that she loves into never leaving Hinamizawa (or her) so that all of them can stay and "be happy together" forever.
Specific subjects: -Suicide -Codependency -Unreality (believing that you are the only real person amidst a crowd of characters) -A history of horrific childhood abuse -Bullying -Gore -Parasites -Severe paranoia -Abusive relationships -Ego death
If you don't want to deal with any of these subjects, or more specifically would like to avoid the subject of Gou's issues altogether or even if you want to avoid any tags from Satoko at all, just PM me and let me know. No explanation necessary.
