Story summary

Wen Qing and Jiang Yao agree to take turns showing unfinished works at a weekend exhibition; as opening day approaches, her ceramic piece unexpectedly cracks, leaving only a pile of fragments that cannot be reassembled. She prepares to withdraw, but Jiang Yao reminds her that the original theme inherently included the process itself. Wen Qing decides to display the fracture points and the log of failure, making it clear that the piece cannot be used; visitors leave their own questions, and the duo's promise thereby moves beyond a shared reliance on polished finished products.
