Based on the first chart, the recipient is his fiancée since he noted major events (first meeting and engaged, thus they are not married yet, or it should have been noted on the graph). The labels of a heart and smiley represent love and happiness accordingly. This implies that Cueball had love and feelings for someone else before he first met the love he is breaking up with. |
In the second panel, there are variables r<sub>0</sub>, r<sub>1</sub>, r<sub>2</sub>, each value at 0.20, -0.61, -0.83 accordingly. Given their names and values between -1 and 1, these are probably {{w|correlation coefficient}}s. If they are based on the data in the graph in the preceding frame, they could compare how well one of the variables correlates with time passed since the relationship. For example, if they are based on the heart line, they could measure the correlation between heart (Cueball's feelings for his fiancée) and time, being a weak positive correlation for the first period (0.20), a moderate negative correlation for the second period (-0.61), and a strong negative correlation for the third period (-0.83). Alternatively, they could be comparing the correlation for the accumulated periods, 0.20 for the first, -0.61 for the first and second, -0.83 for all three. Either way, it looks like there becomes a strong negative association between times passed and Cueball's love. The same reasoning would apply if the values are based on the smiley (Cueball's happiness) line. | In the second panel, there are variables r<sub>0</sub>, r<sub>1</sub>, r<sub>2</sub>, each value at 0.20, -0.61, -0.83 accordingly.
