Day 5017
Day 5017 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Jonah Ferris has been released from the Sheriff's office with a stern word and a handshake. Iris Brody is not currently speaking to Linus Tidewater. Linus Tidewater 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.
