Why it works
The opening moves from familiar donation stakes at 0:10 to a rare-case scenario at 0:54 and a specific reveal around 1:20; the top replay peak is 1:15.5–1:23.0. Across the measured first six minutes, clinical close-ups give the risk physical weight while long animated diagrams update internally to explain compatibility without constant cuts. The source is 12:34, and only its first 6:00 was measured.
