That's just poor planning.

I can see Mei subconsciously encouraging Kouichi to talk to her because she's lonely. But isn't that exactly what Izumi accused her of at the Inn? And since nobody but Kouichi knows about Misaki, as far as everyone else knows, that really did start the curse up. The only reason I can think of for Naoya and Yuuya to stick up for Mei is because Kouichi is and they recognize the blame game doesn't fix things (a position Takako no longer advocates; I guess seeing your crush get run over by a boat tends to significantly dampen your enthusiasm for understanding). So again, if that's the case, then isn't Izumi right to blame Mei?
