Oh, wait a sec. Here's an idea.
Someone pointed out before that when Beato gave out that last bit of red text, she said "Watashi wa dare?" instead of "Warawa wa dare?" Now that I think about it, it sounds more and more like a standard children's riddle construction. Eva (Rosa?) said something similar about the epitaph, that it was just a childish riddle and they'd been overthinking it the whole time. So if we look at it that way... How about time?
We don't really even know that Battler died before leaving the island. The only red that suggests otherwise is "None escape, all die," but that's already contradicted by Eva in Episode 3, so it seems like we might be misinterpreting that somehow. All Beato said at the end was that "After this point in time, I will kill you."
From that perspective, it starts to look more like a last desperate misdirection than a weird murder.
