So this isn't technically wrong but it looks weird

What is happening here is we have 2 large files and 1 small file deep in a nested tree.
Because we only have a few shads of greyscale in the terminal we 'use' the lighter shades up in the first subdirectory so they aren't available deeper in the tree.

If we start to cd into the directories it looks 'correct'
