Why it works
The frame 30 cut turns a winter view into one person's bedroom, making the opening memory specific. Sparse scene cuts let phrase-timed pose and bubble changes carry the 515-word argument; the hard cuts inside shots 17 and 26 sharpen the final turn. Shot 27 begins at frame 5686 and fades from frame 6197, giving the demand an image-led release.
