Oh okay. I get the pacing style you're going for; that makes sense now. Although, in English grammar, I don't think I've come across the comma (,) being used like that because while it does signal a pause, it also disconnects it into two statements in a sentence. So, as a native English speaker, I didn't catch onto it being a dramatic pause and thought it was splitting the quote in two. Perhaps an ellipsis (...) would work better. Idk
