You are at one vertex of a equilateral triangle with side length $ 1 $. All of the edges of the equilateral triangle will reflect the laser beam perfectly (angle of incidence is equal to angle of reflection). Given that the laser beam bounces off exactly $ 137 $ edges and returns to the original vertex without touching any other vertices, let $ M $ be the maximum possible distance the beam could have traveled, and $ m $ be the minimum possible distance the beam could have traveled. Find $ M^2 - m^2 $.

We examine the following two sequences: The Fibonacci sequence: $F_{0}= 0, F_{1}= 1, F_{n}= F_{n-1}+F_{n-2 }$ for $n \geq 2$; The Lucas sequence: $L_{0}= 2, L_{1}= 1, L_{n}= L_{n-1}+L_{n-2}$ for $n \geq 2$. It is known that for all $n \geq 0$ \[F_{n}=\frac{\alpha^{n}-\beta^{n}}{\sqrt{5}},L_{n}=\alpha^{n}+\beta^{n}, \] where $\alpha=\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2},\beta=\frac{1-\sqrt{5}}{2}$. These formulae can be used without proof. The coordinates of all vertices of a given rectangle are Fibonacci numbers. Suppose that the rectangle is not such that one of its vertices is on the $x$-axis and another on the $y$-axis.
