One thing about the Static Subs/Eclipse translation that I think should be pointed out is that they used the word "sick" instead of "a cold." I think it makes more sense to use the latter for "kaze."

Friend: "Um, why is she at school?"
Yuuichi: "She's absent from school because she's sick, right? ..." (because she has a cold, right?)
Friend: "Sick?" (A cold?) "She's not sick." (She doesn't have a cold.)

It's a minor point, perhaps, but the point isn't whether she's sick or not. She's been absent from school since the entrance ceremony at the start of the first semester, as revealed by her freshman friend.

Spoiler for minor, if you've been watching closely so far:

I don't know how other fansubs handled this scene (about 9 minutes into the episode). So whatever. Sorry for the minutae. ;-)

Spoiler for minor, if you've been watching closely so far: That would suggest that she's got more than a cold. Although I seem to recall Shiori saying that she's been getting better over the recent break.... I don't know how other fansubs handled this scene (about 9 minutes into the episode). So whatever.
