Why it works
The first distressed face stays for 95 frames, giving the second-person accusation time to land before explanation. An unlisted internal hard cut at frame 379 expands the premise to a monument, while the progression from crowded shot 16 to the sparse 339-frame shot 22 makes the moral visible. The 134-word narration covers 71% of the film, so phrase timing carries the edit more than a beat grid.
