For once i'll play the 'It's a fictional story' card. The writer can decide who stays alive and who doesn't, so Irimi & Koma being alive is completely fine in that aspect. Killing them off is equally fine in that aspect. So what the writer should be worrying about is balance between what stays alive and what dies.

If you have a few groups in the manga that work seperate from each other, then it's a bit unfair if you only kill characters from one of those groups and keep choosing characters from that same group to randomly kill off.

Equally leaving the characters of one of these groups alive, while characters of the other groups die, tarnishes the realistic representation that I assume the writer still wants to bring over.

It's not really about wishing or desiring death, it's a "twisted" desire for balance and equality in the story. It could've been everyone really, it's just that Anteiku | Re is the group that keeps succeeding in "cheating"(grain of salt) death. Wether there's a perfectly logical explanation for their survival or not, doesn't particularly matter, because then I will make an issue about these logical explanation of survival not being applied to the other groups.

It's actually not as fun as I thought to see old characters popping their head up again. It has a limit to it's appeal as well.
