During chapter 4, after Adrienne gets Cyrus to make a pathway to the back of the island, she will discover Hortencia's Greenhouse. After picking up an old trowel, she will witness a flashback of Hortencia's murder, her throat stuffed with dirt and soil by the possessed Zoltan. If Adrienne peeks into a large flower pot nearby, she will also discover Hortencia's rotted remains. Later after Adrienne accesses the chest in the boarded off attic, she will discover and read Hortencia's diary, detailing that they had a child, Sofia, whom she believes Carno drowned in a lily pond and Hortencia's growing paranoia. Adrienne may also view Hortencia's portrait along with portraits of his other wives.
