Secondary solution to space-invaders-repeat (2.4)

There is a second solution that is shorter than seven lines (not counting curly brackets). Why doesn’t that count?

What solution did you have in mind? Please share using a [spoiler] and codeblock.

Only blank lines or lines with just a comment aren’t counted.

A line with a single curly brace does count, which AFAIK means there is no valid solution under 7 lines of code.
