Day 3583
Day 3583 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. The gift-giver is revealed to be the least suspected resident, who is thanked with a modest ceremony. The radio in Truman Beaumont's kitchen has been persuaded to play his favourite song. He is singing along, badly. Cass Tanner was born to Bev Tanner and Milo Ferris. 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.
