True, but at the same time, there are other vampiric features implied in the world of Another. When Mei for example said that Dolls seek to fill their emptiness. She was referring to the idea that the dolls and to an extent her dolls eye, are able to see death because they suck the life out of their surroundings. Same could be said about the extras. This was more or less based on how they handled it in the Live action film, but the color of death surrounding an Extra was able to latch on to anyone that was closer to death. For example when Chibiki grabbed her, the color started to latch on to him before his demise. Now they never showed this in any of the other mediums, but I have noticed in the anime the first deaths in May that died were often the ones closest to Reiko by a degree or two. Yukari being a class officer requires her to check in with the Teacher and the Assistant teacher (Reiko) of their room. So needless to say she was the closest to Reiko in that class room before she got offed along side her mother. Then there was Sanae, she was close to Reiko because she helped treated her nephew and had been in the hospital with her when the calamity unofficially started.
