With the watermelon thing, I think Mei standing next to Izumi was Kouichi's idea. Since the two never seem to interact much even after she officially existed. That aside glance he made while eating the watermelon kinda cements it. So he sorta left handed. Whilst Izumi as it seemed probably was just enjoying that watermelon to care. So she wasn't doing anything to harm anyone or become left handed and eventually later in that episode had some importance as she was among those that asked the most questions to Matsunaga.

Kazimi's fixiation on Yukari could count as a left hand. Whilst Izumi on the right plays importance later on as his killer whilst at the same time probably hit him with that bar to smack some sense into him.

Since it was Yuuya that handed the tape to Izumi, he is officially the left hand, while Takako prior to her snapping served as a right hand due to her conversing with Izumi about Mei's Eye.

Personally I love symbolism. Mainly because it's at least fun to me to try to point out some. But in some situations they fit quite well. For example, The Inn scene. Since the Inn is not too far from the Shrine, it is considered holy ground, in which any sins the characters may or may not have committed or have been accused of commiting would come full circle as well as confessions. Mei is accused of causing the deaths for breaking her non-exisitence, not unlike an old fashioned shaming, that many religions have their own variation of them. Mei later confesses her lie about Fujioka being her cousin and because only Kouichi is present to listen, her Inn room is similar to a confessional. Teshigawara confesses a possible sin of murder, kinda obvious where that one is going. Ogura and Tomohiko going after Mei and Kouichi respectively for the deaths of their loved ones, that's two people looking for retribution. Stuff like that.
