If you are going to do a paired test, then each subject can only have 2 time points

Hello Freesurfer,
I am trying to run a surface based paired ttest for pet. I started by running mri_vol2surf for each pet longitudinal subject. However, when i use mri_concat with --f, --prune, and --paired-diff i get an error " --paired-xxx specified but there are an odd number of frames". I have 4 subjects, 3 has 3 timepoints and 1 has 2 timepoints (total of 11 frames). Below are my commands and full errors.
How do I solve this problem?
best, Paul
