Day 5995
Day 5995 in Seahaven Springs, under cloudy skies. Ewan Callahan has decided to let bygones be bygones. Iris Brody has decided to let bygones be bygones. The radio in Truman Beaumont's kitchen has been persuaded to play his favourite song. He is singing along, badly. 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.
