Take note on how the story manages to have Shy's second incident happen in the Artic, a place where the only civilians are the old man and the pilot.
I am willing to bet that the casualty number will be higher than 0 this time.
You know what, here's my prediction. The current body's cause of death is natural causes. Old age. Whatever. That's gonna be the twist of this life. If I were a pissed grim Reaper, I'd do the same thing just to fuck with the MC.
