Day 2286
Day 2286 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Sal Marino has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. The radio in Truman Beaumont's kitchen has been persuaded to play his favourite song. He is singing along, badly. Marla Finch and Elaine Whitlow have quietly become the sort of friends who notice things. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Lighthouse Lighting Approaches reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
