There are 313 pages.
We don't meet Gus until page 8...
He does not speak until page 11...
He leaves us on page 261...
That is 253 pages from when we meet until he leaves...
And within those 253 pages...
He is only physically in 172 of them...
And that's all it took...
172 pages for us to fall in love with Augustus Waters...
And none of us will ever be the same again.
