Why it works
The mirror routine holds until the frame-62 cut relocates the character, making the ordinary-to-surreal change easy to read. A continuous ×1.55 approach in both shots 7 and 8 intensifies the encounter without a visible cut at frame 281; genuine pack and application inserts in shots 13–16 make the solution tangible before the symmetrical title return in shot 22.
