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 who woke up in the morning after having an eventful time last night, got ready to leave the room to see the Grim when Lucas stopped her right at the door,
"Good morning, Belle," he wished her, leaning forward and kissing one side of her temple. A greeting she would never be tired of. She was more than ecstatic with the fact that she and Lucas were lovers in their previous life. Like many things, she would have never guessed it. To share something so pure as the irreversible bond, she could tell it was given by Guilt, Lucas' former self.
"Good morning, Lucas," she responded back with a smile.
"Your breakfast is ready. Would you like to have it right now or after you are done washing and changing your clothes?" asked Lucas, a trait which he hadn't let go even after he had come out as a Grim Reaper in front of her. Somewhere it made her smile and chuckle.
