—picking up where we left off, then. A dedication here from someone in Ward Seven, no name given, for "the one who covers my second sleep without being asked." They didn't write what the gift was. They didn't need to. We know what it is to be covered.

The next piece runs about eleven minutes. If you're just settling in, that's enough time. If you've been awake since the first shift and you're still awake now, that's also enough time. Either way, the music doesn't mind.

[carrier noise]

—for Sable, from her sister, who says: you talk too much and she means it as the warmest thing. Noted and entered.

The Listening Hill relay reports clear conditions. No interference on the band tonight.

We'll have another dedication block after the instrumental. If you want to send one, you know how. If you don't know how, you've never needed to, and that's a fine way to have lived.

Quiet Hour follows.
