Belle Adams' Butler
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.

Time ticks- Part 1
Belle stared at the headstone that was upside down on the grave. By what she remembered, Lucas and Barron had come to this cemetery when her parents had revisited as spirits so that they could see what was going on while also finding the other spirits who might have stepped into the land of the living from the dead.
Did they not realise that the headstone was placed in a way where a person had to tilt their head to read it, as the headstone was placed upside down.
Councilman Christophe turned to look at Belle for a possible explanation of why the headstone was placed upside down. Belle then said,
"My parents died in an unnatural death so one of the priestesses told me that I should place the names upside down."
"Isn't it considered to be an ill omen to be placing it like this though?" asked Councilman Christophe.
