I skipped around in this so I could avoid any Silo spoilers. I don't have the patience to wait a week between episodes so I have to wait to start season 2 when all the episodes have dropped. Same with Bad Sisters. When I think about the lantern, I just always go to Emily Dickinson who is "out with a lantern looking for myself." (Or at least the close to the quote accuracy without double checking)

Kellie, I thought of that, too! And the depths of connection between being out with a lantern looking for an honest person and looking for oneself. Anything I reference in Silo happens in the first five minutes of Season 2.

I’m reading this through the lens of WNC need, post-Helene. How am I using my lantern? Thank you for helping me sift my soul.
