The first is that, while it hasn't gotten a chance to get rolling yet, the 2013 scenes aee ultimately part of a subplot that has its own arc that extends beyond just Daniel and Jan's conversations, and will eventually take the foreground as the main plot in Volume III.

Also, it would get boring if the only scenes took place during the interviews, and there would be a lot less room to go into Daniel's character and character growth over the story, as well as less room to flash out the other characters like Joe and Jan, as well as a few that haven't come in yet.

Plus, I imagine that there would be some discrepency between real-time Jan talking and the written length of the flashbacks, as it would probably take her longer to get everything across than it would Dan to write about it
