The first time Urd thought she felt Belldandy's unique presence, she thought she was mistaken. When it persisted, when the signature of her sister's power grew even stronger, she felt dread in the pit of her stomach. She hadn't forgotten her experience in the Hinterlands with the strange Heartless who had taken Belldandy's form. Surely this was another attempt to rattle her, perhaps in the wake of her rebellion against Praetoris.

When the door opened, she was waiting in a fighting stance, electricity crackling around her fists. Faced with the full force of her sister's serene and loving smile, however, and Urd knew without a doubt that this was her sister. Her younger, gentle, near perfect sister. She felt her breath catch for a moment, hands unclenching slowly.

"...Bell?" she called softly, her vulnerable expression a rare sight that only her sister could really bring out of her.
