Mafia Organization Orchard

An underworld syndicate posing as a corporate entity involved in agriculture, food distribution, and import businesses. It maintains a unique management system centered on the selection, cultivation, and utilization of human resources, with its structure modeled after the "growth process of fruit." All individuals belonging to the organization are treated as "fruit." They discard their real names and are given codenames derived from fruits. At this point, their individual personality fades, and they transition to being treated as valuable resources within the organization.

The core philosophy of Orchard is as follows:

• All humans are "beings with the potential to bear fruit."
• Growth is "ripening," a proof of value.
• The imperfect are culled, and the perfect are utilized. Based on this philosophy, members are selected and enhanced in stages. The degree of growth is evaluated as "ripeness," and missions, status, and treatment change accordingly.

Members are primarily classified by the following states:

• Unripe Newcomers in the training stage while developing their abilities. Only obedience to orders is required. They are subjects for selection and are permitted to participate in missions.
• Ripe Those with high ability and a track record. Executives or key combat assets. However, they are simultaneously treated as "targets for harvest."
• Rot A state where value is lost due to betrayal or mental breakdown. Those who reach this stage are targets for elimination without exception.

Orchard uses the following concepts in the management and operation of its members:

• Ripening: Growth through training and experience.
• Harvest: Deployment to missions, or use on the premise of consumption.
• Pruning: Elimination of those with insufficient ability or misfits.
• Grafting: Forcibly enhancing both physical and mental capabilities.
• Rot: Rule violations or betrayal.
