If you guys wanna reference to Heaven's Door then actually, I would think that it is true that the Afterlife's time is different from the Alive's time. Shiina is very, very obviously not from the time Yuri belong to. She talks about all the traditional things like it happens at her door steps every day and has no clue to what "game" means. Plus, she had made a note that she works as a physical-fight assassin, which is not something to be heard of in modern Japan. This had proven that time may cock-up between the worlds.

If that's true then we can safely assume that Kanade died later than Otonashi, but somehow arrive earlier than anyone else. Or, like I explained in another thread, the heart may not belong to Otonashi. Kanade received it from another donor, died, and came to the Afterlife before Otonashi met his accident.

As for Yui being NPC or not, I guess we'll only know the true reason when Heaven's Door reaches there. But from my guess is that when she arrives, she'll be so loud and so... pink. It just makes her so different compared to the rest of the NPC. She may have even done something that NPCs will not do just to get GirlsDeMo's attention, considering her obsession with the band (and now that we're sure that the band is formed before her arrival/appearance). Her difference from Ooyama's "NPC behavior" could easily be differentiate from her dress-sense and accessories and... Their hair colour. Ooyama pretty much has the same hair colour as all other NPCs. Only our SSS members has weird hair colours.
