sena takes a peek at the samples that had been provided to her. over the past few weeks, she had been providing merch ideas to the design team (which she of course described in her journal), and now that they were finally on display, she was able to make her decision.
lightstick in hand, she began to play with each one. she first picked up a lace 'skirt' to go at the base of the lightstick's head. she'd seen many people decorate their lightsticks this way on social media, and she found it very cute. while the lace itself was white, there were dusty pink bows all around the top of it, giving it a personal touch. "i like this!" she notes, spinning the lightstick around to inspect it. "the only change i have is that i think the lace part needs to be a little shorter so it doesn't hang like this. but otherwise, i love it."
she moves onto some stickers. they are iridescent stars that are both white and in sena's representative color. "these are cute," she notes, "but aren't they a little too plain?" she thinks something about them isn't right. they don't look premium; they look like something you'd get at the convenience store. "i think we should focus on more high-quality products."
with so many designs on the table, she shuffles through them all, until she finds an elaborate pink bow with significant amounts of embellishments and sequins. "do you think you could add a pair of white wings to each side?" she asks politely, imagining it with white wings on either side, "so that it can resemble my character in iuventa, since her favorite form is a bird."
she has one more to pick. with the options becoming more and more limited as she rejects designs (too bulky, too simple, too boring), she finally finds something at the bottom of the pile. "this is it!" she picks up a small beaded wrist strap. it was designed with multiple colors (of course sena's is the most prevalent), and at the top is a bow and a star. "this is perfect," she smiles. "honestly, i don't even have any notes for this one. it works exactly the way it is."
satisfied with her work, she graciously thanks the design team for their care for this project, and leaves feeling very satisfied that her ideas had now come to fruition.
