║ fifty-second stanza ║ video

[The video starts in much better quality than you'd typically see from a network device, which probably doesn't come as a surprise to anyone who's been on the network today. Some unseen (and unheard) documentarian has got Todd seated in a chair, where he is looking extremely uncomfortable.]

I-- I just don't understand why... I mean, why me?

[He pauses, as they ask something.]

Well, I know the City is interesting, it's just-- um... I don't see why-- I mean... out of everyone here...

[Again he pauses, glancing off to one side of the camera.]

Um-- well, yes, I do like it here...

[Just a beat this time.]

Oh... just-- just a bit over two years.

[He tilts his head, glancing off again as he falls silent a few moments.]

It was hard-- uh... it still is, sometimes. I mean... things are so different, a-and... not just the technology, but-- well, the way people behave and the culture.

[A shorter pause.]

No-- no, I don't... I don't think it's bad. Just different.

[And now there are another couple of moments, though during this break, Todd's eyes widen drastically and his jaw hangs open. He looks completely shocked, and manages his most clearly enunciated response yet;]

What? Who told you that?
