40: Light
Explain xkcd: It's 'cause you're dumb.
| Light |
 Title text: Like a beacon |
[edit] Explanation
Lighthouses were built on coasts to give ships a point of reference where land was, so that they could find where they were going, and to know what they should avoid during a storm. Megan fills this role for Cueball. She is his lighthouse to know where he can be safe.
This also has a romantic notion, as Megan is lighting up the world for Cueball to find her.
