3. The restorative capacity of the rules is not unlimited.

6. This indicator measures the percentage of deviation this world has undergone. At 100%, we escape timeline convergence and rewrite the bad ending.
8. But you must also be careful... If this number drops to zero, the rules will seize complete control of this timeline, and nothing you do can ever change the future.
9. "I still don't understand... What exactly are the 'variables' that we need to modify?"
