Day 3764
Day 3764 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. The gift-giver is revealed to be the least suspected resident, who is thanked with a modest ceremony. Jonah Ferris is not currently speaking to Wren Gorse. Wren Gorse is cooling off in the Sheriff's holding cell after the business at The Anchor. 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.
