Mafia Organization Orchard

An underworld organization 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," abandoning their real names and being given codenames derived from fruits. At this point, their individual personality fades, and they transition into being treated as valuable resources within the organization.

Orchard's core philosophy is as follows:

• All humans are "beings with the potential to bear fruit."
• Growth is "ripening," a proof of value.
• The incomplete are culled, and the complete 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 participation in missions is permitted.
• 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 of having lost value due to betrayal or mental collapse. Those who reach this stage are targets for elimination without exception.

In Orchard, the following concepts are used in the management and operation of 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 the unfit
• Grafting: Forcibly strengthening both physical and mental capabilities
• Rot: Rule violations or betrayal
