Speaking of Kyouko and Aki, they were both at the amusement park Mei and Misaki went to. It's conceivable they could've run into Mei, and if you stretch things really far, they probably could've corroborated her story about Misaki if push came to shove at the Inn and Mei ever attempted to talk things out.

I think any chance of a peaceful resolution for most of the class died with Yumi. Her death reminded them why they were after Mei, as it were, and probably scared them (nobody seems especially upset she died, aside from the one guy angrily shouting her name in the Japanese cut). I think that's also sad. Nobody should die unmourned.
