It is probably something easy but I am failing to see the geometric description of the $Y$-coefficients in the initial coefficient tuple ($12.5$12.5 part of $\text{Thm.} \; 12.5$Thm. 12.5). Any help would be very much appreciated.

Geometric description of a type $A$ cluster algebra with universal coefficients

In $\text{Thm.} \; 12.4$ in Fomin's and Zelevinsky's paper on coefficients we are given a recipe for constructing a cluster algebra with universal coefficients.
