It's impossible for Shannon to be "inside" her room and for Kanon to be "inside" his room if they're the same person. One of the rooms would, by default, always be empty. Sure, it doesn't disclaim the possibility of a person moving, but by this definition "are inside" means "are or are not inside," as Kanon isn't inside the room where he was found. He's either in the room with Shannon or, if you want to go with personality death/role suppression, nowhere. Thus, either Kanon isn't a "victim," or he isn't "inside" the room he's supposed to be in. So Beatrice is at worst lying and at best telling an incredibly lame half-truth by suggesting the victims (as in, all of them) are in the rooms when one of them not only is not in any of the rooms, but isn't anywhere period.
...Or the implied meaning is: "At the time each room was opened, only that room's victim was inside."

Also, the red doesn't confirm the victims' deaths at the time that the rooms were opened. This is important because the adults were able to get the impression that the victims could have been faking.
