## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

The third-floor study at 3 a.m., winter draft leaking through single-pane glass. A spiral notebook lies open on a chessboard—each square filled with numbers, one page smeared with coffee rings. Catherine counts the margins like rosary beads, wondering which equations will outlast her father’s mind. A mathematician’s last theorem is also a farewell letter.

**Mood tags**: cerebral, slow-burn
