(Calculus) Point $\mathrm{A}$ is on circle $\mathrm{O}$ with radius 1. As shown in the figure, for a positive angle $\theta$, two points $\mathrm{B}$ and $\mathrm{C}$ on circle $\mathrm{O}$ are chosen such that $\angle \mathrm{BAC} = \theta$ and $\overline{\mathrm{AB}} = \overline{\mathrm{AC}}$. Let $r(\theta)$ denote the radius of the inscribed circle of triangle $\mathrm{ABC}$. If $\lim_{\theta \rightarrow \pi - 0} \frac{r(\theta)}{(\pi - \theta)^2} = \frac{q}{p}$, find the value of $p^2 + q^2$. (Given: $p$ and $q$ are coprime natural numbers.) [4 points]
