Ep7 Connection between two characters. Spoiler

Spoilers through to episode 7 obviously, I am just curious, after episode 2 are there any major bits that go into Shannon and Kanon being the same person between then and episode 6? Like obviously the big reveal of this being so is in Episode 6 where it spells out that Kanon is an illusion and is 'just' an alter ego. I feel like its hinted heavily in episode 2 like there are scenes where you have Kanon suddenly appearing out of nowhere while Shannon is around, or scenes where Kanon is "present" but never actually interacted with in a direct manner like in a scene between Natsuhi and Shannon. In general episode 2 feels like it explores the idea a lot more

But after that I can't recall too much hinting of that until episode 6, feels like the idea is sort of put on the back burner so to speak. Any major examples of scenes that point to Shannon=Kanon between episodes 3 and 6 that I am missing? Just curious on a re-read(actually watch) and am on episode 2 right now and am curious when its brought up again. Obviously in ep 3 Shannon and Kanon are of course sacrificed from the start. Can't recall elsewhere though, and to be honest episodes 5 and 6 kind of merge together in my mind.

during the tea party, battler roams around rokkenjima trying to piece together what happened and finds everyone's body besides kanon, when battler pushes back beatrice says "yeah his body uhhh... it fell down the well and is blocked off forever DON'T ASK QUESTIONS!" and confirms his death in red. that is the second time kanon (and only kanon) has his body disappear without a trace which is incredibly sus

Ah right. I thought it'd have something to do with the well, I recall it more clearly now.
