If you like, consider Erika the 18th human piece to be played upon the board of those two days (otherwise we would have to count all the Beatrii). She and Kinzo may never have existed during those two days, but they were the human pieces.

Nah.
EP4:
Before now, I have proclaimed that no more than 18 humans exist on this island.
But actually she never said "no more than 18 humans exist" in those exact words. What she said was:
EP3:
There are no more than 18 people on this island.
Continuing EP4:
I will lower that by one for Kinzo!!
No more than 17 humans exist on this island!!
That excludes any 18th person.
In short, this 18th person X does not exist!!
This applies to all games!!!
I think it's pretty clear that Beatrice uses the terms "humans" and "people" interchangeably.
