An elementary school student named Shōya Ishida and his friends bully Shōko Nishimiya, a transfer student who was born deaf. When word of the bullying reaches the principal, Shōya is framed as the sole perpetrator by his friends. Shōya blames Shōko when she tries to help him, and they get into a physical altercation.

She has a scar on the edge of her right earlobe, caused by Shōya Ishida pulling her hearing aid out of it. She has also lost hearing in her right ear completely since childhood, though the reason why is never specified. She can still be seen wearing a hearing aid in her left ear, however.
