Except it treats the deaths like dominoes:

Kill Mrs. Sakuragi, unsettle Yukari, cause her to panic and fall to her death.

Kill Yukari, devastate Tomohiko, prompt him to murder two girls, then get killed by Izumi.

Drive Kubodera insane, cause him to gut himself in class, and emotionally traumatize the entire room, especially Aya.

Horrifically kill Junta, undoing whatever forgiveness Izumi might've had for Mei and breaking Takako mentally.

Cause Aya to panic and her family to flee, then kill them all on the same day as Atsushi Ogura.

KIll Yumi's older and brother and rob her of the one person she can talk to about it, so she's more than willing to lead the charge against Mei, which will almost certainly end in at least one death.

Kill Takako in such a way it looks like Mei did it, again ensuring at least one of them will die.

And of course, it killed Misaki, ensuring Mei would be at the hospital in the first place, meaning she'd pique Kouichi's interest and break the Countermeasures, earning Izumi and Tomohiko's resentment and pretty much causing most of the class's problems...unless you think Izumi would've had any reason to go after Mei had she not been breaking the rules in the first place. After all, Yukari died fleeing Kouichi and Mei, Sanae and Ikuo both died trying to explain things to him...if people are still dying and Mei is clearly upholding her end of the bargain, then I think the class would've turned on Izumi instead.
