Depends on what you consider abuse, but Miles hits Edgar very violently even after multiple times of Edgar saying not to touch him earlier. A lot of the scenes read abusive and could b very triggering, though I doubt the creators considered this dynamic when they were making it.

Most notably the sequences for "Video" and "Let It Run". There is also some flashing images during the ending fight scene between Miles and Edgar. Probably more I'm missing but there is quite a few.
