The Quiet Café · Invitation 471

He Chu invites Ning Chuan to lend the café for a failure-sharing session, but Ning Chuan worries the event might turn others' embarrassments into public spectacles and insists on reviewing outlines approved by the participants first. She invites registrants to decide the scope of what they share and allows them to withdraw materials at any time. Ning Chuan agrees to provide a small room, and the first session is attended by only a few acquaintances; though modest in scale, it creates a safe space for people to finish recounting less-than-glamorous past experiences.
