Insensitive yes, but he knew how she really died after the Alteration wore off and felt he had to tell Kouichi, but needed to know if the rumors were true since obviously Kouichi and Mei told the students what they did, with them of course reacting the same way Matsunaga's classmates did when he killed his Extra.

I could see the conversation.

Kouichi: Did you guys know if Miss Mikami went with us on the trip?

Yuuya: What are you talking about Kouichi she's been dead for a year and half.

Mei: But there were pictures.

Yuuya: You mean these?

Kouichi: So it was true. Mochizuki, she was the extra of this year.

Then the rumor spread like wildfire till Chibiki caught wind of it.

Chibiki: Are you absolutely certain it was Miss Mikami?

Yuuya: Ya i'm sure.

Teshigawara:  He's been in the hospital, so he might not be right in the head, but that's what he said.

Since Kouichi and Mei remember still. Kouichi still felt the guilt of killing his own aunt. Now that everything is somewhat normal now, everyone knows how the Extra originally died and Chibiki's explanation may have lifted a weight off his shoulder since even though he no doubt killed Reiko. She was already dead anyway.
