Wait That Is Actually A Really Fucking Good Theory Hold On

Wait that is actually a really fucking good theory hold on

Hey so, I have a theory. You know how Kayne says Arthur and the Black Stone are kind of similar in that he can't quite grasp them?

And how he sings about everything in Arthur's bag, but notibly leaves out the lighter?

And how This Too Shall Pass is a phrase that Arthur has held on to from a young age to the point that he even put it in a poem he wrote trying to deal with the loss of his parents?

And how the light cuts through darkness and is an object of safety? (And can only be doused by water which ... well we know is a theme)

And how time and dimensional travel is happening right now?

(Also perhaps interesting to note one Nyarlathotep's avatars is said not to be able to tolerate light, which could be true of other version of him)

What if the Lighter is made from/is the Black Stone. Arthur gets it for Kayne because he needs to fufill the deal, but knows he needs a fail safe or just double crosses him or maybe Lillth interupts and kills Kayne/gets the stone for herself.

So he takes hides it or a piece of it. Makes it into the flint, or maybe just hides it inside the lighter itself. Tries to Back to the Future it and sends it to his office, but it arrives too early and Roland gets it.

But it doesn't matter because all that matters is that he has the lighter at the approprate time

Because he's had the Black Stone the whole time.
