Forgive me for intruding, but there was something I wanted to confirm.
Is it possible that B through I entered A’s room and witnessed what they believed to be A’s mangled corpse at some time other than 12:30?
It would be very disappointing if you were misusing the red by referring to an event at a different time. Maybe when they first saw A, he truly was alive, but at some unspecified point in the future, he was found dead. I’ll keep it simple.
B through I entered A’s room more than once. If you can’t deny that, then it opens up all sorts of loopholes.
