I must have...fallen asleep. {The usually put-together and in-charge Belle sounds dazed.} I certainly wouldn't have chosen this spot to rest. There must have been a spell involved.

{She sighs, a pained edge to it. Every inch of her aches. What else could she expect when she fell asleep on some stones, though?}

Beast, I had a terrible nightmare. I dreamt you...pushed me away. Tell me that wasn't real? {It doesn't even occur to her to lock this. What does she have to hide? A nightmare is harmless, right?}

Lumiere? Cogsworth? Are you alright? {Since... If Beast isn't himself, they would suffer the most.}

[There's a brief moment of silence as he decides what to say.]

Hello?

[Another pause.]

I just arrived here, but I need to get back to my home immediately. A lot of people... a lot of friends are counting on me. I can't afford to let anyone down.

[Link exhales through his nose, steeling himself. This is not the battle he'd set out for originally but it looked like he would have to fight here too if he wanted to return to the battle for Hyrule.]

If anyone is searching for a way out of here, I want to help.
