* Why is Izumi constantly asking Kouichi if he is sure he has never lived in Yomiyama City? [[spoiler: Because he shows signs of being the Extra - the Extra was alive the previous year, died in Class 3-3, and returned without anyone realizing who this is. Kouichi looks familiar but claims he's never lived there. What if he doesn't remember living there because the Calamity has blocked his memory? Granted, the Calamity IS blocking his memory, but for a different reason...]]

[[spoiler:It's awkward because despite the strict division Reiko keeps between her home life and her professional one, she still has to ignore Kouichi at home for the charm to work]].

The scene actually suggests the opposite (especially since if they were friends, she might have known that Misaki had a cousin/sister named Mei). She knew the girl enough to know that Misaki was in her name, but misremembered and assumed it was her last name just like Mei (similar to how Kouichi learned a girl had died the day he met Mei, and was told only that she was Misaki, and assumed they were the same person). Besides which, even if she wasn't misremembering, "I knew a girl called Misaki" is more to the point than "I knew a girl named Fujioka whose given name Misaki is the same as Mei's family name."

* The anime title is in special brackets that a mathematically inclined viewer may recognize as a ceiling bracket and a floor bracket, which mean to round up and round down respectively. This means the brackets around the title can be read as saying "round up in the beginning, round down in the end" which is a nod to the premise of the series. This may not have been intentional however, considering how often the same brackets show up in other anime.
