Day 2048 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Orson Ferris and Truman Beaumont have got into the habit of each other. Toby Tanner and Wilf Tanner have quietly become the sort of friends who notice things. Ewan Callahan has received a postcard from somewhere far away. The handwriting is unfamiliar. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. A Visitor Is Expected runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
