It is rather uncomfortable to have one's personal feelings publicly broadcast, especially in such a manner, but I am not going to waste time worrying about it. What is done is done.
[Bad things may come of it, but they may not as well. He need only be expectant and cautious.]
Besides, it seems to have made you happy somewhat. That pleases me.

More than somewhat. I always wondered... but. That's probably not surprising.
[She rubs her face a little, and... hugs her knees.]
This week has been. I don't have the words for it. But it's strange... whenever something terrible happens, you accidentally bring me up again. Just like the very first time you came here.

It has. Which is interesting. I mean... it doesn't feel that long. Then again, it also feels like that's not long enough.
...I wonder if that's the memories, or if it's just um, a memory. Thing. Well, what I mean is, I wonder if memories are just odd that way, or if it's my head being... my head. The way it usually does.

Not exactly.
The flow of time seems to be accurate. I feel as though I have been here as long as I actually have been. A year to some might be too long, but to me? Ordinarily it would not even register. Years fly by in the blink of an eye. But this year was wrought with many things by which to remember it. Things that make it memorable. Counting those events, it makes other years seem less in comparison, somehow shorter.

That does make sense. Sometimes I forget how different time must seem to you than it does to me. Even now. There's a great deal of difference between thirty years and... well.

[...especially at the beginning.]
[But how can she not look?]
[So, in the end, she leaves video off to hide her misty eyes, and hugs her knees, and says...]
Isley...

[Is that a tremor in your voice?]

I-- [No words. No words. She rubs her face.]
That was very... [Illuminating. Touching. Surprising.] ...beautiful.

[There's a light tease to her voice, which is still trembling. After a moment, she flips video on.]
[She waves a little.]

[He smiles, nodding his head to acknowledge her wave.]

...but I'm--- err.
[YEAH OKAY. PRIVATE.]
--I'm sorry this, err, happened. Even if I'm glad to... have seen it.
I wonder if that's contradictory.

...oh! It's been almost a year.

[There is a brief smile before he closes his eyes.]
...It has been that long already, has it?
[A year.]
[Then it is about time. Time to move forward.]
[To truly set things in motion.]

Does it feel long to you?

So it is not long, but rather it is...just right.

But it has been a very... interesting year.
[...mostly terrible, really. At least for her.]
