Day 3421
Day 3421 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Wren Gorse has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. Linus Tidewater and Bea Callahan have quietly become the sort of friends who notice things. She apologised to Truman Beaumont for something he has no memory of, and could not explain what she meant. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Shortcut runs into trouble. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
