It was just a way to give Otonashi a reason to build the NPC system and turn himself into an NPC. In the original theory, I mention that he falls in love and she moes on, but he doesn't, so he misses her and so he can't live with himself, thereby turning himself into an NPC.

I used Shiina because of the fact that she had been around longer than the others and so while Kanade was living her other life, a reicarnation of Shiina came through. But, I can take that all back and just use Kanade instead. I mention that in my revised theory posted on June 9th addresses that issue and rewrites a different theory around kanade being the incarnation that goes in place of Shiina. I hope that clears up anything with that issue. I appreciate that you read it and actually responded to it, though. So thank you. I hope that you can read it again(the theory from June 9th) and not ignore most of it.
