Consistency between "Violet Evergarden's If" and "Dietfried Bougainvillea's If"

 
When I saw this in "Violet Evergarden's If" (the four blacked out boxes are where the name of the girl is), I was amazed. Because of the consistency with "Diethard Bougainvillea's If", which was written after this story. Basically, it meant that author Akatsuki Kana had intended for the girl's name to be Linaria (リナリア), four characters long, when she first wrote "Violet Evergarden's If", which was handed out in September 2020 when Violet Evergarden The Movie was first aired in Japan.

The actual name Linaria only came out when "Diethard Bougainvillea's If" was published as part of Violet Evergarden: Last Letter in January 2022. We only got to know the girl was named Linaria by Diethard in January 2022. But back in 2020 (or even earlier), Akatsuki Kana had already given her a name.

Wow...
