Why it works
The hook gives the question a 133 px cap anchor from frame 0 and withholds the first cut until f144, letting expression carry the opening. Shots 5–8 turn an invisible mechanism into a labeled synapse, radiant brain and two-frame zoom at f898; the darker reversal at f1034 then reframes the answer as a consequence.
