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.

Lucas looked at Belle who didn't appear to be awake even after hours had passed by in the land of the Bonelake. He wore the coat he had picked up and looked at the space in front of him, raising his hand when he heard Barron speak,
"Once they know you are in the land of the dead, they are going to come for you."
He was aware of that, the scent he had worked on disappearing to keep himself low would return once he would step in the realm of the dead, "We don't know if Belle's soul has drifted to the other side. The longer she stays there, the weaker her vessel will turn out to be such that the soul that has gone in wandering will start turning to decay and die to be part of that place."
