Light
Like a beacon
Title text: Like a beacon

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 where 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.

Transcript

[A crowd of figures stand around in the dark. One figure is illuminated by a beam of light.]
In a dark and confusing world, you burn brightly. I never feel lost.
