Why it works
The 231-frame opening fixes the complete workspace in memory, so each return can reveal a real absence. Static cameras and moving objects, especially the long removal segments in shots 5 and 17, make the transformation physical. The container turn in shots 17–18 and 357-frame final shot delay the small-object payoff until the viewer understands what left.
