Patience
Patience is number 8: a dark-haired Hirono in a grey top and blue trousers stands on a mossy rock, a rope running from his foot to a small heavy weight (the everytoys catalogue calls it an anvil). Something white, like a paper propeller, sits on his head. His Chinese label is 等, “to wait”.

FAQ
What does Hirono Patience mean?+
There is no official reading. The author of our article sees the rope as having to endure what cannot be changed, and pairs Patience with Destroy, who chooses the opposite.
Does another Mime figure have a rope?+
Yes. In Prison the rope binds Hirono’s arms and knees. Patience is only tied by the foot; his hands are free.
