Beato described the message bottles as byproducts from working on the game she was going to run for Battler, so one way to think of EP1-2 is that they're what-if scenarios where she tried to run the game according to the corresponding bottle, not necessarily successfully. There's a bit in EP2 where Beato rather transparently uses Jessica as a mouthpiece to complain that Battler is stalling instead of making moves, and I don't think that's something that Yasu would deliberately write into the original story even if you ignore the meta aspects.

Or planting information, if you want to be supremely paranoid. Toya's amnesiac, and the human mind is fantastic at inventing memories with a little suggestion...
