(Seeing that name, her face instantly turned gloomy.) -

Can someone check the Japanese text? When did Reina meet the ghost girl? I am not questioning ZZHK since I read off the same thing...but it struck a bit out of context.

-I was referring to who "her" was. It struck me kind of odd that Reina would turn gloomy seeing the ghost girl's name, even though the two were never introduced. I was not questioning the gloom part.

As hard as it may be to believe, a conscientious class representative like Reina could very well know all the names of her classmates (gasp, all forty of them including herself!) Is it that inconceivable that she would be alarmed to find a name that does not belong in the class? Of course, as is often the case in Japanese, the subject is unspecified and open to interpretation. But seeing as Rushella and Hisui already reacted to the name, and the preceding sentence is about Reina looking at where Hisui pointed to, the Chinese translator logically concluded that the reaction belongs to Reina.
