Why it works
Shot 1 plants the option in 56 frames, but the first explicit cost waits until the object is isolated in shot 14. The loss remains spatially clear across shots 7–14, including the hard cut inside shot 9 at frame 424; shot 18 then gives the cheaper comparison 178 frames before the closing wide at frame 1098.
