I still choose to believe that it was a Shadow Clone and not the actual Kyoko, because I'm still not a fan of name dropping canon characters solely to kill them.

I see no reason why this is a problem when they'll end up coming back anyway. In case it hasn't been obvious to this point and as KoL mentioned, this is a prequel RP in which everything eventually falls into the canon.

But again, to each their own.
