Ring → Mice ↗A practical example
An agreement weakened by repeatedly missed small promises is one example. Check the specific obligations and what has actually been missed. The pair raises a question about wear within a bond; it does not prove betrayal.
Check it against your question
Keep the actual order and ask which part of the example fits your situation. An example illustrates a possible reading; it does not establish facts or promise an outcome.
