But Tomohiko came after Kouichi with a knife specifically to kill him, and Izumi asked him if he had a death wish when he was protecting Mei (which is a not so subtle way of saying "If you keep it up I'm going to kill you"). Tomohiko died instantly, and Izumi was killed in such a way she went into shock and didn't feel much. Both of them were directly trying to harm Kouichi; Takako did so incidentally when she stabbed him so he'd be unable to protect Mei since she had bigger fish to fry, and she more or less apologized to him for it.

As the class's teacher, Reiko would feel protective toward her entire class, so if it is her Id driving things, it should've been Tomohiko who was violently killed, since he'd already murdered two of her charges and was trying to kill her nephew.

There's also Kenzou. His only real crime was protecting Yukito when Kouichi hit him, and then panicking when the others got trapped. Again, he died instantly.
