It brings it vs it brings itself

In the 5th line in the screenshot, are the first "it" and the second "it" referring to the same thing? If so, should the second "it" be "itself" according to grammar? I'm not sure whether they refer to the same thing and if so, the grammar is correct.

fire1 In the 5th line in the screenshot, are the first "it" and the second "it" referring to the same thing? No. The first "it" refers to something outside the text, possibly his coming into the station on the anniversary of the murder.
