Mei's not right in the head, in case you hadn't noticed. The entire series she's BSODing because of Misaki's death. She has her occasional lucid moments but the vast majority of the series she's flat and emotionless.

And there's absolutely nothing natural about the Calamity, anymore than a serial killer is a natural part of society. It'd be one thing to accept Death as a part of Life if they weren't aware of the Curse, but they are, so they know something's coming for them and their loved ones. In that light, is it all that surprising they get desperate in their efforts to protect themselves and their families?
