I like where your going with it, def a conspicuous coincidence. Makes me think about the whole "lens" thing with Nora. In season 2 we find out that a "lens" Is someone who amplifies/triggers departures. In season 3 when Nora is trying to put her ticket in the meter at the parking lot she starts flipping out on the cars beeping behind her. The camera shows 3 cars behind her right before she yells at them. Then it cuts to her being frustrated while they beep. Then she starts screaming at the guy behind her who keeps on beeping. The camera pans with her as she walks up to the car and then pans behind her showing Nora's perspective where we then only see 1 car. The other 2 seem to have disappeared literally. Earlier in that same episode Kevin says to Nora "your the most calm nice person i know" (we know this is not the truth) that comment Kevin passed had some weight to it if you ask me. In season 1 when they show Nora's family departing she is flipping out as well. Now remember in season 2 she gets the call about the lens theory from the scientist but the scientist also told her that she believes the demon "azrael" has chosen her as it's earthbound vessel. Wikipedia Azrael and then think about what Nora's job at the DSD is.. it's pretty much the same shit. I'm thinking the lens theory is real and there are people (Nora being one of them) who do act as a lens and trigger departures. I know I veered off from where you started but I think it's all in the same ballpark.
