It definitely isn’t where the down step is, but it’s where the pitch rises in all 3 words
Yes, the initial rise in pitch isnt as dramatic as drops in pitch, however, so it’s better to concentrate on how the words are different than how they are similar. Incidentally the first and second mora always have different pitch in Japanese words.

It’s very hard to notice the difference between pitches because it doesn’t sound like stress in English or in my native language. I guess I’ll support you on Patreon if I it means I will be able to understand this better

Appreciate it! I explain how it’s different from stress-accent early on in the series. See you over there!
