Commentary : Open Trade 258-259 (Patreon)

For these pages, we have a bit of a change from other places in the story where we pause to take a lot of time to explain what the change would do and why Stephanie would want to do it.

Before this point, Stephanie mostly has had trades picked for her. This time she's actively making a choice for herself. So I felt it is important to see what she would want to make this change. Especially with all her experiences with trades that she has done up to this point.

I also really wanted to do something small and fun and try to make Mina look bored in the background as they really don't have anything to do and is mostly just waiting for Stephanie.

Other thing to note, since I've talked vaguely about this the past. We have a scene that got moved around alot. The talk with Mina about that people will expect Stephanie to be Korean. I originally wrote a scene on the airplane of them talking. Then I tried to get it in at the airport. But I really wanted to get things moving and get them to South Korea and get them to this office.
