A Silent Voice 2 Storyline
Shoya Ishida, a high school student, first plans to commit suicide, but he changes his mind and decides to finish off some unfinished business. Shoko Nishimiya, a sixth-grade student at Shoya’s primary school, attends Shoya’s class and is shown to be deaf in a flashback. It’s hard for her to fit in at school since Shoya and his gang of bullies see her as an easy mark.
In response to the principal learning about the bullying, Shoya’s teacher accuses him of being the perpetrator, and as a result, the bullies in the class begin to target him. They get into a physical argument because Shoya blames Shoko for the incident. Shoya finds a notepad that Shoko had left behind and decides to preserve it once she is transferred to a new school.
Shoya, a bully in middle school, is now a depressed recluse who is unwilling to look others in the eye and imagines an “X” mark on people’s faces because of his notoriety. Shoya goes to the sign language center to return Shoko’s notebook and apologize, but then panics and requests to be friends instead. When Shoya learns that Shoko has accepted his offer, he feels obligated to make amends for his previous treatment of her. Another loner, Tomohiro Nagatsuka, meets Shoya after he saves him from a bully and helps him out.
Despite the fact that it is against the rules, Shoya decides to swim in the river in order to rescue Shoko’s notebook after he accidentally loses it there. A photo of Shoya jumping into the pool is taken by Shoko’s younger sister, Yuzuru, and she puts it online in order to retaliate against him. Shoya is able to track down Yuzuru, who has been missing since she ran away from home. Shoya follows her as she sneaks out in the middle of the night, and the two wind up becoming friends.
Miyoko Sahara, a former classmate of Shoko’s from elementary school, reunites with Shoya and Shoko. Shoya misunderstands Shoko’s confession of love for him when she gives him a present and declares her feelings for him verbally rather than in writing.
