The room hums with the sounds of the coolers. A single overhead lamp illuminates the Embalming Room with a cool light amber light. In the center of the room, Bella lays on a gurney staring up at the ceiling while music blares from the headphones on her ears, tears messing up the mascara she had put on earlier that evening. Her mind races over the entire encounter with Daddy Sa- Baron Samedi, hurt and confused as to why the figure that showed her so much kindness when she was fresh out of Arcadia all of a sudden it seemed, was so...so...disappointed with her.
'Did I do something wrong? Did I forget something important? I got him his favorites cigars and everything.' She thinks to herself before closing her eyes as she tries to calm herself. After a few moments and several deep breaths, she sits up, Wipes her eyes and walks over to one of the coolers and opening one up to find the body of an elderly homeless man that was brought in the other day. The pallor of his skin looking sickly under the overhead light. "Maybe....Maybe its because I don't act Autumn enough?" Bella asks the corpse as if expecting it to talk back to her but nothing escapes his mouth but the echo of the silence of of the room. "-But...what is an Autumn supposed to act like? It's far too on the nose to constantly be scaring the normies all the time...so what do I do?" She asks again to the room. Bella sighs deeply before putting the man back into the cold dark locker until his body can be prepared for cremation. She then walks over to the door and before turning off the light she says with a chirp "Night guys, thank you for listening! I have a phone call to make." before turning off the light and skipping out of the room, her mood vastly improved
