Why it works
A moving option carries the otherwise stable opening until the first cut at frame 60. The stair-wide fall in shot 11 becomes visible damage in shot 13 at frame 587; only after that does shot 16 at frame 752 give the product-price comparison, so the cost has a physical cause before it becomes a claim. The final mark returns to the same obstacle in shot 19 rather than switching to an unrelated card.
