No lightning doesn't blow limbs off true, but it is very concussive if someone were standing a few inches away from where the bolt hit, the shockwave from the bolt could still hurt them and break anything in close proximity. Hence why any reports of severe storms that involve thunder and lightning warn to stay away from glass like windows. When it struck me I was simply closing a door, which happened to be a metal patio door, that I thought was gonna blow off due to strong winds. What kept me from getting the full brunt of it was, when that lightning struck that door, the shockwave blew me a few feet away from it. The people with me, thought that the lightning scared me so bad that I jumped off of it, hence why I wasn't taken to a hospital. I don't expect any sympathy to be honest. But it's kinda odd to me at least, that when a person tells someone they been struck by lighting, that it got no response whatsoever not even a "You're crazy that never happened.". Then again since you see the kind of thing all the time I don't blame you for seeing it as an every day occurance. I only brought up my experience with it, because it's better to hear from someone about the realism of weather related incidents in media, from someone it actually happened to.

Now about the ability, that's where I disagree with. Because much like any other ability or curse. It sees threats as nothing more than threats regardless. When Izumi and Takako tried to kill Mei, they lost whatever sort of protection they would have had. Whereas because Yuuya and Teshi were away from Mei, their protection may have been fading hence why they didn't die as easy as other Keiko victims. Reiko wouldn't count because she's already dead, but even if that weren't the case, the blow to her head only knocked her out.

"I'm a nurse not a romance expert." Wow are you a trekkie too? Hehe. But seriously I only ask because I have often heard of the whole Florence Nightingale thing and never had a chance to ask an actuall nurse if there was any truth to it. With that said, Mizuno got along very well with Kouichi by their love of books alone and then there's the time they went out for lunch when he told her about the story of Misaki Yomiyama. But what really hammered it in for me was the scene after Yukari died, prior to said lunch, what she said was that if he had to be admitted, she'll take good care of him. It might be harmless on the surface, but the tone from it kinda made me suspect otherwise.
