Every morph POC, verified frame-by-frame. The principle: a morph has to carry meaning, or it becomes a tic. Three earn a place at three real moments; the orb-as-character is out; the all-in-one chain is cut in favor of placing the two good morphs separately.
Cut (not shown): Fede→blue orb (weird — keep the orb as product, not character) · the 3-part chain (three transforms in 4.5s is too much and the seam is a bridge, not a true morph — the two keeper morphs do the job placed separately).
