Illusions to illusions. ......Illusions are the blind girl's song. Illusion of a closed room.
This seems to suggest that Maria wasn't aware of what really happened. She was told to sing and to turn around so that she couldn't see or listen anything.
Since Illusions are mentioned so often it is probable that Genji and the rest didn't really die. This also explains how the closed room is an illusion.

Possible meanings for illusion:
1) Maria obviously lied in her statement about Beatrice coming through the opening. But, in-story, nobody believed her, so I don't think this is the answer.
2) It's possible that the killer used some subterfuge with the phone (record Maria singing, and call the study from a different phone), but this just gives the killer more time to get away from the room. Since Shannon's and Gohda's keys are never accounted for, this isn't even a closed room.
3) Natsuhi leaves the room after reading a letter. Except:
- Battler, George, and Jessica walked right past it without noticing it.
- Maria, who was standing facing away for most of the time, somehow saw it.
- It disappeared in the short period of time from when Natsuhi left and they found her body
- It is only mentioned by Maria and in some third person text where Battler is absent. This is the same kind of evidence that the second floor guest room had the chain on, or that the chapel was locked.
- Episode 5 has a letter appearing in a seemingly impossible fashion. Except that there is no confirmation in-story that a letter actually did appear.
