However, the Archive feels none of that, or shouldn't and retain her mental health. As Luccio says
in Small Favor.  "As a defense, the Archive began to distance themselves from other human beings,
emotionally.
She goes on to say; "Archive keeps its host emotionally remote for a reason---because otherwise the
passions and prejudices and hatreds and jealousies of thousands of lifetimes have potential to distil themselves into a single being."

So it seems that Ivy has grown up, she has become "The Archive."  Any pain she may have felt emotionally by Harry's suicide or Kincaid's assistance, she has removed herself except for on final request/order to Kincaid, make it a chest shot [possible survival] instead of a head shot, [most likely certain death.]  Ivy knows both were her only friends, but the Archive knows she cannot have any friends.

Dina:
I think you may be right, the Archive is isolating herself but a) that does not explain why Harry didn't react to her, with a smile or something. b) we know Harry will reach her at some point  :). He will bypass her "walls".

The_Sibelis:
I'm still betting the archive itself has a mechanism to ensure its survival by procreation... And the only healthy male she has any connection to that didn't raise her is Harry..

Because Harry feels guilty and not without reason. That makes it difficult to decide how to interact which leads to avoidance which is wrong but all too human.

Dina:
Arjan, yes. But is similar occasions Harry's inner monologue has informed us that he was actively avoiding her or something like that because he felt guilty. So I rephrase. I am not so surprised that Harry did not do anything but as him not "thinking" anything to explain that.

The_Sibelis. I hope not. Harry has not spoken with her (apparently, or as far as we know) in years. Perhaps she already has a boyfriend or something. If not, Harry should introduce her to the Carpenters boys  :)
