(And LIFT!)
I pick up another box of documents and take it to the hospital's storage room. I've been cleaning up and reorganizing SO MUCH stuff after the yakuza people trashed the place! But...my punishment could be worse. In many ways, I deserve much worse.
I head into the room used for holding all patient medical files. Normally, I wouldn't be allowed in here, but...Mr. Wave gave me permission since some of the stuff I'd be reorganizing would go in here. After everything I've done...I have no right to call him 'father'.
I put down the box and start to organize the files under their respective names. Some of these names I recognize, but I don't know most of...!!!
Hokuto Yamaguchi.
(Mother!)
Kata. Kata. Kata. Kata.
I take the files and find some recorded patient interviews. Most of them are professional, focusing on my mother's condition, but as the interviews get closer to today's date, the discussions get a bit more casual. Sometimes even personal.
Then I play the last one.
Kata.

Kata.
I pause the recording.
"So, you know?" I hear Mr. Wave say behind me.
"I..."
"Say no more." he continues.
"No, I have to say something! All this time, I..."
He hugs me from behind, then strokes my hair with his right hand.

"Don't feel guilty. You've done nothing wrong. We were all tricked by Riva. And you're right, I didn't live up to your mother's expectations."
"...You're wrong. You were willing to sacrifice everything for our sake. It wasn't all Riva. I just...couldn't accept you, as I've only seen you as a businessman. But the fault is mine for not opening up to you. You've tried to open up to me while I refused to do the same. So, forgive me."
"I don't blame you. 'Bad communication is something families do.' Your mother told me that once. But even so, you're my daughter, and you're worth more to me than any amount of money."
I turn around and hug him tightly.
"Thank you...father."

Their Wife
Nea Riar, a human, accidentally stumbles upon a portal to another world full of everything she has thought to be a myth. There she meets five men; Fae, Demon, Shifter, Warlock, and Incubus. What these five men have in common is that they are each seen as a threat in a society ruled by matriarchy. In the world of Asorix, Arradona is a Queendom where women are superior. Most are physically closer to the size men, the difference in high not as great, and their magical capabilities are naturally stronger from birth. They dominate and tame men, claiming those they see fit as husbands to add to their growing harems. Those of the upper class compete with one another by comparing the number of husbands they have in their harems, ranging anywhere from the tens to the hundreds, and even a rare few in the thousands.In these lands, five men; Zev Dubois, Cassius Montgomery, Jaxon Novak, Ezra Larsen, and Axel Dimitrov are anomalies. They're stronger than any male that has existed, physically and in terms of magical capabilities. The extent of their power is unknown, but it's speculated that they are more powerful than women also. Their power and wealth has earned them a high status without having to marry a wife to gain it, something that was impossible before them. They are seen as a threat by the Council.In an attempt to control them, the Council orders that they must each take a wife in hopes that she can tame these men who show signs of being dominant. The women of Asorix stumble over one another trying to take at least one of the five as a husband for their harem because of their looks, money, and status in society that would all become their own.During this time the five men come across Damanea, a woman who isn't like the rest. She's the opposite of what women in their world are like. Instead of being dominant, assertive, and abusive, she's meek, cautious, and weak. So what do they do?They marry her.WARNING: Slow burn dark romance
