It's been a month. You haven't
taken a single break.
:11:09
I'm so close.
:11:13
Have you met the new fish
my niece bought me?
:11:17
I named her lcarus after you,
my renegade pupil.
:11:22
You fly too high,
you'll get burnt.
:11:26
I look at you,
I see myself 30 years ago.
:11:28
My greatest pupil.

But life
isn't just mathematics, Max.
:11:38
I spent 40 years searching
for patterns in Pi.
:11:43
- I found nothing.
- You found things.
:11:47
I found things...
:11:50
but not a pattern.
:11:56
Not a pattern.

Sol died a little when
he stopped research on Pi.
:12:07
It wasn't just the stroke.
:12:10
He stopped caring.
:12:16
How could he stop,
:12:17
when he was so close to seeing
Pi for what it really is?
:12:27
How could you stop believing
that there is a pattern,
:12:30
an ordered shape behind those
numbers, when you were so close?
:12:38
We see the simplicity
of the circle,
:12:41
we see the maddening complexity
of the endless numbers,
:12:43
3.14 off into infinity.

# I don't mind
if they're cloudy or bright

# For I only have eyes
