Why it works
The near-black opening gradually exposes a tiny violet-cyan portrait while narration establishes a fable by 0:03. Three trials begin around 1:08, 1:33, and 2:11, each with a distinct visual palette; brief rapid inserts punctuate otherwise spacious scenes. The 3:48 logo reveal pays off a complete story instead of interrupting it.
