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.

"Bad! Very bad reaper!" Barron scolded Greed who had tried to get Barron using his scythe, "Is it the guilty conscience? Mhmm?" asked Barron and Greed didn't hold himself back and hit the scythe against one of the vases that crashed straight on the ground.
If there was one thing Barron had understood along with Belle, it was that Greed was sensitive when it came to Lucas. Barron moved aside when Greed's scythe went to hit the portrait in a loud crash that broke the glass frame that covered the painting.
"You have quite some mouth on you, don't you?" asked Greed, rotating the scythe in his hand.
"That I did from the very beginning. It didn't know you didn't notice it until now which is understandable because you have your eyes on," Barron moved his two fingers to point to his eyes and then at Greed.
