Manipulate them into thinking it’s fun and their idea

Because it would just make bedtime routine easier if we kid do both at the same time and it would clear up the guest room.
Four bedroom house but one is my office.

It is a battle of wills, and you are letting a 2 YO win.

Why do you want them in safe room?
I think it will be good for them in the long run in several critical ways:
-bonding with their siblings
-built in learning/practice in sharing and consideration for others
-feeling safe when they sleep
-getting quality sleep
I shared a room with my brothers my entire childhood, sometimes all 3 of us in one room at the same time. Decades later, 100s of miles apart, busy families and careers, we’re still close as can be. I want that for my kids too, and I think it started way back with shared big wheels and shared bedrooms.
I’ll admit, there are some selfish reasons:
-less disruption of sleep/sex for me
-the memories I’m harvesting out of this setup, I wouldn’t trade it for anything. The little conversations I overhear. Their interactions especially with the older siblings embracing responsibility and protecting/encouraging their siblings.
The mornings I go in to wake them for school and find them scattered and cuddled up together, man, I don’t even need a sip of coffee.

Your 2 year old is freaking out because your 4 year old isn't doing her job. For some reason your youngest doesn't want to be just with her sister. She's probably picking on her.

Put a clock in the kennel with them.

Kids sharing a room is trashy

Make sure they have a special blanket and stuffed animal. Make sure a small night light is in the room. Every night read them a short story and say prayers with them. After a routine is established they will be fine. We only kept our babies in our room while they were small infants. We didn't sleep with them because it is something hard to break them of. Things will get better. Establish a routine, make it fun and stick with it.

That was some funny shite right there.

Just curious as to why you want them to share a room versus each having their own.

Ok I get that is probably the reason but OP didn’t say that specifically. I was genuinely curious if there were some other reason. It was an honest question with no hidden motive behind but I can always count on the O-T to be full of pricks ready with some smart ads comments. Thank you for not disappointing you arse.

I came from a big family in a small house, I didn't sleep alone until I got married.
