Why it worked

Opens with a short, self-contained line that is easy to take in at a glance.
Opens a question in the reader’s mind and withholds the answer until later.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.
Quotes someone directly, which makes the moment concrete rather than summarised.

Structure: Hook → Landing
