That was actually Kenzou who had the pillar fall on him. San is the long haired girl who is also pinned by the chandelier, but who'd again done nothing to justify it (she was just trying to escape; she watched Yumi attack Kouichi but didn't pursue him like the others).

The other problem with the Id theory is Takako. Up until she dies, your theory holds up: Yumi tries to kill Mei twice, fails, falls out the window, and is killed instantly. If Reiko were protecting her nephew that way, she'd do it in the least horrific way possible.

Takako, however, dies in extreme agony and unlike Yumi and Tomohiko made it a point of not trying to kill Kouichi. If Reiko's Id is driving the calamity, then on some level she has to have a deep seated hatred of that girl in particular, since she gets just about the most unjustifiably sadistic death in the series. Reiko doesn't strike me as someone that vicious.

Then there's Makoto, who I think we can all agree gets killed for being a dumbass. Again, the most horrible thing he did was suggest Takako might be right, and he got burned alive for it. You can't really say his death isn't being driven by the calamity, since that's what caused the fire. He didn't do anything threatening toward either Kouichi or Mei, yet still he died.
