"Not quite," said Urd, her gaze turning from the shrine back into the direction of Nekomi Technical.
"He won't remember big sister, that's already been taken care of," said Skuld.
"His mind won't," agreed Urd. "Damn that Marller."
"You can't do anything about that, remember?" asked Skuld nervously.
"His mind won't remember her, his heart will remember a void where someone used to be," said Urd.
"Well, he'll get over it," said Skuld, her tone indicating some serious doubts about that.
"I promised Bell," said Urd. "In order for him to move on, he'll need someone else to occupy that space."
"You CAN'T!" shouted Skuld. "You can't take over for her!"
"If I did that, how much would it hurt Belldandy?" asked Urd, her own voice turning angry. "No. I can't do that. You can't do that. Peorth or Lind can't fill the role."
"I know that," said Urd. She took a deep breath, calming herself, then proceeded. "As far as anyone not from Heaven or the Demon Realm is concerned - Keiichi Morisato has been alone all this time. There is no girl who has even looked at him as anything desirable. He's never had a girlfriend. He has continued trudging along in a life where he has continued to have bad luck and never entered into a contract with a goddess."
"So we're done and we can go home, right?" asked Skuld. Sure, she felt bad for Keiichi, but this was how it should have been in the first place right?
"No," said Urd. "Keiichi didn't deserve this. Didn't even come close to deserving this. He, as well as Belldandy, is a victim here."
"Urd," said Skuld, nervous.
"I promised Belldandy," said Urd, shrugging. "Should Keiichi spend his life alone, unloved? Should Hell get away with this little victory without any attempt at beating them?"
"Urd, we CAN'T," said Skuld.
"No, you can't," said Urd. "Belldandy can't either. Goddess First Class and all. Likewise Peorth, who REALLY wants to cheat here - or Lind - who would like to kick Marller and her plans all the way back to Stygia."
"You're going to get in trouble," warned Skuld.
"So?" asked Urd. "I get to play matchmaker, and for a good cause. Things are in flux, making changes easy for the moment. Now either go away or watch as I fix Keiichi Morisato up with-"
