It's slow loss, wear and stress: something nibbled away bit by bit. Example: The Mice + The Fish is money disappearing on little expenses.
It can also be theft or something getting lost. Example: The Mice + The Key is losing your keys or an opportunity.
With good cards at the end, the wear stops. Example: The Mice + The Sun is the stress leaving and your energy coming back.
