Expanding the square and using the independence of the percolation edges gives
The ratio equals , where is the number of common edges in the two truncated paths. It is at most for , under the convention in the hypothesis; in particular because both paths contain . For every integer ,
The tail-sum formula and the assumed exponential intersection tail therefore yield
