Kohane, a high schooler with a long-standing struggle with her accent, opts for silence over ridicule after enduring mockery for her pronunciation. Her encounter with a wounded upperclassman in need of assistance at the teacher's lounge marks a turning point. Igarashi, the senior, not only receives bandages from Kohane but also opens up to her, eventually confessing his feelings. As they bond, Igarashi aids Kohane in preparing for an English pronunciation competition, leading to a tale of self-acceptance and discovering mutual acceptance despite their linguistic differences.
