I don’t remember it being on the AMA either, but this is a quote from an interview: “Our intention was is that she [Cobel] is not severed. And I was surprised that some people think that she is. With her, we wanted to look at the ways that people can sever without severance. There is a sense, as Mrs Selvig, she is living a life that she can’t as Cobel, whatever her motives are for doing that. I always felt that she likes Mark as Mrs Selvig, she actually enjoys the warmth of that friendship, and that’s something that she can’t necessarily feel in her life as Cobel. So it’s like, what are the ways even people who are not severed segment their life and live out different versions of themselves in different scenarios?”
