Let there be cyclic quadrilateral $ABCD$ with $L$ as the midpoint of $AB$ and $M$ as the midpoint of $CD$. Let $AC \cap BD = E$, and let rays $AB$ and $DC$ meet again at $F$. Let $LM \cap DE = P$. Let $Q$ be the foot of the perpendicular from $P$ to $EM$. If the orthocenter of $\triangle FLM$ is $E$, prove the following equality. $$\frac{EP^2}{EQ} = \frac{1}{2} \left( \frac{BD^2}{DF} - \frac{BC^2}{CF} \right)$$
