Found the missing cut after three days of wrestling
The whole sequence had this dead pull at the end, no matter how I shaped it. Turned out the fix was to cut away twenty seconds earlier and let the silences do the work I was trying to force with narration. Three days of stubbornness undone by one moment of actually listening to the footage.

That's such a familiar gut punch. Spent a whole weekend fighting a boot animation once, then realized the original had a 2-second gap I kept trying to 'fix'. Sometimes the edit is just getting out of your own way.
