Well...

Yes and no. At the end of the day, Izumi's aggressiveness and Mei's passive tendencies are what got Izumi killed. Izumi pushed Mei, found she could, and just kept pushing. Mei patently refuses to defend herself and say enough is enough.

It isn't aided by the fact Mei, Reiko, or Chibiki could've explained the Curse to Kouichi at any time and told him to back off, but none of them did.
