It addresses issues of self-consciousness, meaning, and wellness, incorporating aspects like longing, isolation, identity crisis, decorum, and uncertainty about identity, among others.

In 'Kensington Ave' Oscar discovers his intrigue and dread of his addiction sensitivity and the shadowy realm where avoidance dominates.

Anyone can be wrongly slandered. Everyone can make mistakes. Anyone can become trapped in deep terror. Everyone. Anyone.'</sub>
