The Prodigy is exhausted by his mental efforts, and - on the verge of collapse - summons the last of his strength to write a note for his friend, the Teacher

[Prodigy]
Dear friend, my work here is done
Science has evolved
As the sun set on father and son
The mystery was solved

I'm broken, I'm falling apart
Slowly fading away
I'm sorry...I took it all too far
Thank you for...your faith...
