I'll answer Lilliana3 first. First of all Izumi's exact words were "If the calamity isn't stopped after I kill her, then I'll agree with you." Implying that even if Mei wasn't the extra she still planned on killing her.

The reason I relate Izumi's happiness to Mei not being there is because during the scenes where she is alone with Kouichi, Mei isn't in them and Izumi is more open compared to her usual stern demeanor. Without Mei there is no one getting in the way between Izumi X Kouichi.

The Dinner scene was one of the biggest examples of bullying, something I can never stand whether it's justified or not. Apologizing is one thing, but Izumi demanded Mei to bow, which is a sign of humiliation. That's kicking someone while they are down. WIth that said I consider it a Mei victory anyday since she was already 2 steps ahead of Izumi and already knew the real reason the calamity started, with the added bonus of Kouichi, Nayoa and Yuuya having her back. The former of which irritated Izumi more since she was fond of him.

As for Kouichi's so called "Idiocy." Let me ask you something if you were in a school that purposefully kept secrets from you, yet berated you for breaking rules you weren't even made aware of are you supposed to just take their word for it. Any rational human being would want to know the truth no matter the risk.

Yukari wasn't even the first death. The first onscreen death, but the first death before it was already established before Yukari even sprained her ankle. In episode 1 Mei remarked that her poor other half was waiting for her, in the second episode Sanae and Kouichi were investigating the death of a girl whom the latter thought was Mei. It just simply wasn't connected until the last episodes. So that kinda throws your "It's all Mei's fault theory." Granted if she spoke up more about poor Fujioka, but judging by the OVA, she was put in the ignore position while Fuji was still alive.

The first picture is kinda not good enough proof. The only time Izumi seen Mei without her patch was when she kicked it off her. All those other pics might have just been concept or promotional art. I seen my fair share of anime magazines where even Goku and Vegeta are having a picture moment together.

The second picture on the other hand while solid could be interpretted in another way. Maybe she just really liked that watermelon. Studies have shown that if you enjoy food or a meal good enough, you neither talk or notice the people you are eating with. If she really enjoyed Mei's company she would have done the classic eye closed turn and smile that most anime characters do when they acknowledge one and other in a happy moment. Which she didn't and even if she did odds are she'd be looking through Mei and at Kouichi.

As for there Kouichi not smiling in the outro. That could hint to us that Mei isn't the Extra and he's depressed that he lost her hence the somber music. Whilst Takako's is simple, Izumi is spending more time with Kouichi than her. Not just in the yandere fashioned but simply a girl's version Hos before bros.
