 	\begin{proof}
+        Some notation: let $P$ be an interval $[a,b]$. We say $P$ is a \emph{patch} when the $\Z{i}$ event holds for all $i \in [a,b]$ and $\NZ{a-1}$ and $\NZ{b+1}$ holds. We denote this event by $P\in\mathcal{P}$, so
+        \begin{align*}
+            P\in\mathcal{P} \equiv \NZ{a-1} \cap \Z{a} \cap \Z{a+1} \cap \cdots \cap \Z{b-1} \cap \Z{b} \cap \NZ{b+1} .
+        \end{align*}
+        Note that we have the following partition of the event $\Z{v}$ for any vertex $v\in[n]$:
+        \begin{align*}
+            \Z{v} = \dot\bigcup_{P : v\in P} (P\in\mathcal{P})
+        \end{align*}
