So shouldn't we interpret that whole performance in the guest room as a magic layer scene?

Yah, EP6 was really messed up in terms of 'spaces.' Of course, I think Ryukishi did this on purpose. He carefully set up the situation in EP1-4 and tossed it out in EP6 to show you that it's of no consequence. Sorta like how in EP1-2 you thought the epitaph was somehow crucial to the mystery and therefore would never be solved but in EP3 he just tossed it out there.
Anyways, as I noticed before how the Meta-world and the gameboard appear to reflect each other even though the narrative has been telling us that the Meta-World supposedly 'controls' the gameboard...
It seems more that all these 'layers' are not really reality but more like Metaphors. So in essence, we have one big Metaphor-space with lots of co-existing metaphors... to help explain the mystery.
