If a unit at base with an active Zhonya's is targeted by Falling Star, can the second damage trigger kill it after Zhonya's activates?

Answer
Ruling: Yes, Falling Star can kill a unit with Zhonya's. The first reflexive trigger deals damage, Zhonya's heals and recalls the unit, then the second reflexive trigger can kill it again if it deals enough damage.
Sequence:
- First reflexive trigger deals damage to the unit
- Zhonya's activates, heals the unit, and recalls it
- Second reflexive trigger deals damage and can kill the unit
Nuances:
- Zhonya's does not clear negative modifiers (like stat reductions from Smoke Screen) because the unit is only healed and recalled, not banished and replayed as a new object
- The unit would need to be banished or replayed (like with Portal Rescue) to become a new object and clear modifiers
