I would say the Candle. We know that thunder would just brought more fear to Lucas.

yolo_king · Answer

We know its dark out because we were told about how he would survive the night. So this shows the importance of light to Lucas knowing that almost no one likes being in the dark.

yolo_king · Answer

If we think about it the window doesn't really help since is raining out, the window will also bring fear because he will be able to see the lighting out and the sounds of the thunder would also just bring fear. So its clear that the answer is the Candle.

I think it is sunrise. Because usually it is the sunrise that gives inspiration. When its sunset its most commonly a negative feeling, at least in my perspective. Both full moon and half moon are both negative feelings as well, in my opinion. so I would probably go with sunrise. Because if you think about it, when there is a sunrise you have a new day, and can start out fresh.
