Day 5523
Day 5523 in Seahaven Springs, under rainy skies. Linus Tidewater has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. Posy Gorse is in a staring contest with a gull on the dock. The gull is winning. Ewan Callahan is not currently speaking to Wren Gorse. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Word of an Inspection reaches its conclusion. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.
