Core meaning
Mice show gradual loss. Something is being eaten away little by little: money, energy, trust, health, attention, or confidence. The damage may seem small at first, but the accumulated effect becomes serious if ignored. Mice can point to theft, hidden costs, stress, corruption, anxiety, or a situation that drains more than it gives. The card asks you to identify the leak before it becomes a collapse.
