[If you were to ask Kirigiri to name the classmates occupying the top three slots on her top secret "Murderschool Shit List" Sayaka Maizono would assuredly be among them — third only to the mastermind and Celestia Ludenberg in that respect. The mastermind is a given, of course, so there's no competition whatsoever for that top spot. And Celes-san beats out Maizono largely for the fact that she consciously attempted to sell out her classmates through schemes and lies for the incentive of money.
But Maizono's decidedly up there, and she won that distinction by being first — first to crack, first to kill, first to prioritize her own life and her desperation for the world outside above that of someone else. She'd been dead before they'd all found out about the extent of the supplemental rules of graduation; maybe it would've changed her perspective on doing it if she'd known that the rest of them would have to die if she'd succeeded.
That was where Celes's sins outweighed hers. But to have done what she did (and more importantly, to have used Naegi-kun's feelings for her as a means of setting him up as a scapegoat)...it's something that sits wrong with Kirigiri, and it's not something she's going to easily let go anytime soon.
And maybe that shows as she approaches Maizono with her Houndour in tow — bold, no-nonsense strides that take her right up to Maizono with little fanfare — and it's then that she sees the whole picture: the injured bird, the looming pink rabbit, and Maizono in fits.

Maizono in fits is never a good thing.]
Maizono Sayaka-san.
