Yes, it's from the Episode 8 manga. Erika figures everything out. And the information presented is all canon.

>The secret of the character of Sayo is the core of Umineko’s story, so her inner workings and development were designed carefully and with the utmost complexity.
>In the original version, in order to leave room for imagination for the reader to solve the mystery, I chose not to draw Sayo’s secrets in great detail (of course, it’s still possible to grasp, but I didn’t show things in a way where everyone would get it.)
>With the manga version of Umineko, however, we considered the work to be a “period” to the “sentence” that is the world of Umineko.
>Because of this, when I met with Natsumi-sensei [Kei Natsumi, the artist of the manga adaptation of Umineko’s eighth episode], I asked her to show all the secrets in a way that can easily be understood by anyone.
>Thus, all of the episode of Sayo that appeared in the EP8 manga is the official answer to the world of Umineko.
>By no means is the manga version a individual interpretation. It is an official answer from me, Ryukishi07.

You should definitely read Episode 8's manga at least, since it adds new content.
