By "work in progress", I mean that what Beato gave to Dlanor was a manuscript that she hadn't finished writing yet. That's why it still has all of her notes and trick explanations in it.

I think what we learned is that being furniture means you don't have to have motives for doing things other than "the author in a higher dimension thinks it'll make an interesting story." So the reason we can't figure out a plausible motive for Yasu to kill her whole family in R-Prime could easily be that she didn't actually have one, and therefore didn't do it.
