Day 4282
Day 4282 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Ike Tidewater has been released from the Sheriff's office with a stern word and a handshake. Wren Gorse has got to the bottom of it. The bottom was not far down. Linus Tidewater is not currently speaking to Ike Tidewater. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. The Pallet Of Paper Hats Delivery reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
