I think the flu thing is a false analogy. Yes, catching the flu is a simple,
ordinary illness, and nobody in their right mind would blame somebody for it.

However, that's assuming it's an isolated incident. Suppose somebody catches
the flu. They're sick for a little while, then they get better. All's right
with the world.

However, suppose immediatly afterwards the person goes right back out and
repeats the same actions (walking around outside without a coat in -60
weather, for example) that caused them to have the flu in the first place.
They get it again, only this time it's worse.

Akane in BE didn't do anything to caused her disorder. It was imposed on
her as a postulate of the story. *Your* analogy is the false one, IMO.
