Ash sat on his couch, gazing at the bed before him. His eyes took in the sight of his eight companions, each of them sleeping soundly, without any clothes on, with only the bedsheet covering their naked bodies. Ash closed his eyes, allowing himself to dive into his memories of how he came to be in this situation.

Ash remembers being a 10-year-old boy living with his mother in the small town of Pallet. He had a happy childhood with his mother, but he always felt that something was missing. One day, a group of masked men entered his room with guns, and a lot of cars surrounded their house. His father, who he had never met, walked out of one of the cars and hugged him, showcasing how happy he was to meet his son after ten years.

"Hello, son. I'm sorry I couldn't be there for you earlier, but I'm here now," his father said, holding him tightly.

Ash was surprised and overwhelmed by the sudden appearance of his father. "Who are you?" Ash asked, confused.

"I'm your father, son. I'm here to take you with me," his father replied, his voice gentle and reassuring.

Ash's mother also hugged his dad and asked him to take care of their son. Ash felt torn between his mother and his father, but he ultimately agreed to go with his father, not wanting to lose this newfound family.

The journey to his father's home was filled with surprises and new experiences for Ash. His father's mansion was large and luxurious, with servants at every turn. Ash was impressed, but he couldn't help feeling out of place.

His father introduced him to his siblings - two brothers and a sister - and Ash felt a sense of belonging he had never experienced before. He was welcomed warmly into the family, and his father began to train him in the ways of business and politics, hoping that one day he would follow in his footsteps.

Despite the love and warmth he felt in his new family, Ash couldn't shake the feeling that something was not quite right. His father and brothers often had secretive meetings, and there were whispers of illegal activities. Ash tried not to think about it, but it nagged at the back of his mind.

As he grew older, Ash became more involved in his father's business, taking on more responsibilities and gaining his father's trust. He made connections with powerful people and began to see how the world worked. But he also saw the darker side of things, the underbelly of society that his father and brothers controlled.

He didn't know how to feel about it. On one hand, he was proud of his family's power and influence. On the other hand, he was horrified by the things he saw and the people his family hurt. He tried to talk to his father about it, but the man dismissed his concerns, telling him it was just the way things were.

Ash's mind returned to the present as he took a sip of his wine, savoring the rich taste. He heard a loud gunshot in the distance, but it didn't faze him. It was just another day in his world.

He looked back at his bed, admiring the curves of his sleeping companions. May, Misty, Dawn, Iris, Serena, Lillie, Lana, and Mallow. Each of them was unique in their own way, but they all shared one thing in common - their love
