Day 5251
Day 5251 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Lark Ferris and Abel Callahan have quietly become the sort of friends who notice things. Perry Gorse called Truman Beaumont by the wrong name mid-sentence, then laughed a little too quickly. The song has always been like that, and the town sings it wrong together. 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.
