Why it works
The first word waits until about 12.76 s while close physical details build curiosity; shot 10 then holds the clear impossible-character reveal for 126 frames. The travel and perspective montage compresses into many 15–34 frame shots, while the repeated silhouette maintains identity. A 126-frame desk shot lets the final promise settle before the quiet credit sequence and fade from about frame 1927.
