3 / 3 Persist (When this creature dies, if it had no -1/-1 counters on it, return it to the battlefield under its owner's control with a -1/-1 counter on it.)

That’s because persist checks the creature’s existence just before it leaves the battlefield, and it still has all those counters on it at that point.
