Day 2041
Day 2041 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Truman Beaumont and Elaine Whitlow discover they are both entering the kite-flying contest. Lark Ferris is in Seahaven General after they went over on the cobbles carrying rather too much at once. Ewan Callahan is in Seahaven General after they misjudged the last step of the Town Hall stairs. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Great Kite-Flying Rivalry takes a turn. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.

21:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
