At the time it was a quiet little tragedy that affected some people. Right now, it would effect everyone.
They already had Aina's death to affect everyone. They even shipped her with Haruto and made him get a different outlook on his curse before offing her just so he would care more when he found out she was dead.

And certainly none made by Sunrise!

This is part of why this prediction is so popular. Sunrise itself loves to flesh out a side character and then kill it off. Then they use that character for either a local or larger motivation. At the end of the day, Shoko is NOT a main character. She's a character that is important, and very relevant to the story, but she's still very expendable.
I disagree, Shoko IS a main character and has been around since the start. She's the main Heroine and is very important. Saki is less of a main character than Shoko and we all know that Saki sure as heck is a main character too.

Haruto is THEE main character but he isn't the ONLY main character. L-Elf, Shoko, and Saki are the other main characters with Dog and Thunder being bumped out from Minor Character Status to the next level.
