Waking up from a nightmare several hours before dawn, Belle fetched a drink of water. She paused in front of her kitchen's window when she noticed a lit lantern in front of her mansion's garden. Her butler stood there, shovel in hand. This was no hour to be gardening. Curious, she made her way outside, but when she had gotten close enough to see a large and hollow pit next to her eternally-stoic and polite butler, she saw him pick up a rotten body. A DEAD BODY! Her eyes widened fearfully when she saw her handsome butler drop the rotting body into the fresh hole. She asked in horror, "What are you doing?!" Surprised to see his young miss awake at this hour, he stared at her with the same expression he had been keeping up for all these years. He had made sure she was asleep before coming here. "Gardening." "And the body?!" she looked at him in disbelief. "Fertilizer," he answered her before picking up the shovel that was on the ground. Belle was now certain something had possessed her butler. Who gardened dead bodies?! She then heard him ask her, "Want to help me in planting it, Miss Adams?" he gave her a sweet smile.

Belle could feel her heart thumping in her chest, she raised her hand to wipe the sweat that had accumulated on her forehead. She didn't know how to control her soul from going to the land of the dead but thankfully she knew how to get back which was the saving grace else she would have been in the land of the dead.
After seeing Olivia and the reaper who wanted to take her to the gates, it made her question why Olivia was out and wandering and why she hadn't passed through the gates, wasn't that the normal routine for a soul to pass through the gates once they died? Asked Belle to herself. The clock in her room continued to tick away, the movement of its hand known to her ears as it felt that was the only thing she could hear right now. When she looked to her left, she noticed how the rabbit was sitting on the chair.
