Correct! The story is about a young man fixing his fucked up future, In the beginning stages of the game, it's mentioned that Yasuka couldn't handle the debts, becoming a hostess, which affected Noriko, leading to her running away with her mother's money. She's later found dead, violated. Yasuka couldn't handle this and commited suicide.. For Asami all we know from the start is that, she's kidnapped, and Macumba, the mountain of muscles was arrested, having been the only foreigner there, racism ikr.
Keep in mind that when the game released in early 2021, these lore has already been ingrained in the story, and as a player, your goal is to prevent it, ofcourse the dev will add consequences if you mess up bad!
