Day 3627
Day 3627 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. The queue at the bakery has reached the door. Nobody minds; it is that kind of queue. The bench stays where it is. A second bench is proposed and quietly forgotten. Truman Beaumont and Cole Whitlow kept their word and finished what they started. 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.
