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.

Out of boat- Part 2
Three previous stars, all killed which might have been because of one of the rituals but then came another set of stars to stop the black witches, which was why the witches had decided to kill them. Or was it because they didn't care enough? Especially looking at the sloppy job they made when it came to killing them, the black witches might have thought they were another easy kill like what had happened in the past.
With two of the past stars in light, Belle couldn't stop thinking about the third one who was lost and consumed by the dead. She was slightly worried whether she would end up in the same fate.
Edith had told her that she would die with the others, and it was important to stay alive. Belle was killed by her half soul Portia, and she didn't know if it was considered to be dead. After all, the circumstances of how she died was different than the normal route.
"Will I die again?" asked Belle to Rower.
