Day 5745
Day 5745 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Jonah Ferris has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. Cole Whitlow is not currently speaking to Dell Tanner. Hattie Whitlow is not currently speaking to Wren Gorse. 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.
