This was super-interesting:

—'''Were there any places during the series where you deviated from your initial plans? '''

S:       Tons of them. Mom’s secret room and William Minerva didn’t exist at first. According to the initial plan, Krone didn’t die, and when Emma returned to the House after escaping, I had an idea that Gilda would have become the Sister and Krone would be the current Mom. And also Ray was supposed to die… There really are a whole lot of places. I do have something like an initial plan that I decided on at the beginning, but it changes all over the place in order to make the flow of the story as interesting as possible when it’s read in book form, and because we got color pages, and when we want to emphasize a turning point… (laughs) The main points have barely changed at all, but the way the story gets to them and characters’ feelings are different. I’m pretty sure that, long ago, the part where Norman said he liked Emma wasn’t there. It feels as though it was simultaneously pretty much the same and pretty different. I think that weekly serials should have a live-performance feel to them.
