Just because you point out certain things about someone doesn't mean you outright hate them.

With that said, I did take a closer look at her reaction to Takako's death. At first I didn't know what to think about that, until I realized that she just saw a girl hanging by her neck and dying with her eyes opened. She pretty much looked her in the eyes when she died. That made me realize that although she didn't quite express it properly, she was pretty much going through PTSD. It might not bother her now, but I bet offscreen, before the memory altering thing, she went home and screamed.

I wouldn't say she resented his optimism, but mainly got slightly jealous of it. Because even though up to that point he just encountered 3 people dying, he still manages to hope for the best. With that said, she was alone most of her year due to her sis dying and being non-existent, so odds are Kouichi being non-existent with her snapped her out of that funk.
