[She's really not keen on showing her face lately, is she? Whatever the case, there's mumbling and counting on Charlie's end. It's muffled, coming from the pocket of the hoodie she wore to work and then;]
Huh. One year. [Pause pause and then a pleased sounding.] Neat.
[She digs into her pocket to get...something. She forgot once she noticed the device is on. And now she addresses it directly.]
I realize there are people who have been here far longer than a year so, really, it's probably not a big deal. Except, for me it kind of is. This is the longest I've been in one place since I was a kid and I'm happy I've held still for a while.
[Another pause, some shuffling but she doesn't turn the video on. She doesn't want to.]
I have...opportunities here. Chances to do things that are impossible back home. A lot of the residents in the City have things they want to get back to. I don't. Not really. [There's another pause. Just imagine Charlie shrugging because that's what she did.] Nothing I want to deal with, anyway. I hope I'm here a while longer. Curses aside, I kinda love it here.
[And she turns the audio off.]

I share your opinion of this place. It's not the best but it's not the worst. People are much more open-minded in the future... So many things have changed.
