The original author would still keep her original intent.
Yup, didn't really express myself well in my last post, sorry.

It's okay but I think even meta-Beato wanted Battler to figure her heart out, not Prime.

The point is that before people were accepting the police's theory of an incident, while the messages raised the suspicion someone did it and caused the people to speculate and, among the speculations, the Rudolf family culprit theory grew interesting.
So, although the Kyrie culprit isn't now the sole theory going on, people are considering the possibility she andRudolf were culprits while first it was dismissed as an incident. I see this as a worsening of the situation, not as an improving it.

"Ah, just like in 'And then there were none'. Maybe someone will someday find them and discover my twisted and confused heart. Tell me, dear reader I will never know, what path should I take? I will be too late however. So please, just understand me." Which would imply that the whole incident wasn't really anything she planned, all just a weird accident and coincidence as it tends to happen in stories.
If she wants to be understood, why did she try everything in her might to hide herself? Good question, Dlanor's little speech at the end of Our Confessions might relate to it (about how Beatrice claims that "if only 1 in a 1000 can understand me that is enough").

Ep 5 more or less answered to this, comparing Beato (and therefore Yasu) to a shy girl in love who's afraid to declare herself and yet is trying to write a love letter and even Battler commented she went at it in such a roundabout way that her message risked being impossible to get.
There's to say Yasu is defined as shy and part of her message involves her having a wound that makes her body impossible to love so maybe she didn't feel like telling this openly.
That and Ryukishi needed an excuse to set up his plot, which I find, in points like this one, a bit weak.
