Gale Math
So, we all know that in the epilogue, Gale tells Tav:
I love you.
And if you look at the datamined dialog files and read the dev notes, you’ll see this:
Devnote: With the warmth of having said this a thousand times before.
So, taking that statement as a FACT (which, you know, I’m certain it was intended to be…) we now have a solid numerical value to start with: 1000.
Next, we know that per the narrator at the epilogue start, it’s been 6 months since the defeat of the netherbrain; therefore it’s been 6 months since Gale and Tav got engaged/agreed to live together. We’re going to conclude that they have spent every day together since then.
6 months = 182.5 days
Now, assuming that Gale says ‘I love you’ to Tav on a relatively similar schedule each day (ex: when they first wake up, when Gale heads out to Blackstaff Academy, etc. etc.) we can make an equation:
1000 declarations of love divided by 182.5 days = the amount of times Gale tells Tav he loves them every single day.
We solve the equation and get 5.47945205
We round that down, and voila! We now have flawless mathematical proof that
