Day 3176
Day 3176 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Control has sent an old friend to sit with Truman Beaumont for a while. Nothing calms him faster. The puddle outside the Sunrise Café has returned to its usual dimensions. Orson Ferris is not currently speaking to Toby Tanner. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
