Maybe. Personally, I didn't much care for Izumi. She's definitely sympathetic, but at the same time I felt like she needed to calm the hell down. Of course, by the time everything was said and done, there wasn't much chance of that. Even if she'd survived the catastrophe at the inn, I doubt she'd have been able to forgive him for siding with Mei and, in her mind at least, getting Takako killed (even though that was mostly her own fault for jumping to conclusions; that's still not something you just get over). I think whatever chance at a relationship they might've had died with her.
