Now?
Could I get you to tell me how the red "now" functions in the sentence? I still don't know why she adds the now to the end of it. Thanks in advance!
The Wonderbolts perform at the Grand Galloping Gala every year. I can see it now.

I mean, if "I can see it." were placed there, what kind of the nuance of difference would be created, comparing with "I can see it now."?

PonyFanI can see it.This sentence would give the literal meaning. He (or she) sees it in front of him (her). But that's not what the speaker wants to say.
PonyFanI can see it now.~ I can picture it in my mind at this very moment.
~ I can already imagine how it will be.
