Oh, sure, give it away.

It's true, though. Interlude at Bancroft Tower No. 1 was the first piece of the Symphony completed, a week or two before Wounded Rose. It exploded out of my head in the space of a single evening/early morning, and in so doing changed what had originally been intended to be a harmless little joke - Corwin's initial reaction to Utena - into a major character axis that will affect the entire Symphony.

That was the moment when I knew this was going to be one of those projects where the characters show me the way, as opposed to the other way round. That was when I knew Corwin was for real (and that Utena had decided to stay for a while :). A wonderful feeling...
