For someone with the name Loud, hes exceptionally quiet.  Loud grew up in an emotional battlefield, where his personal words were a useless mechanism, doomed to wither. So, instead of facing the miserable reality lined up for him if he speaks about himself, he duplicates peoples reactions, relying on this to save him from constant public humiliation. However, he constantly worries about where he crosses the line..about him entering a zone where there's no inch of originality left in him. To the point where he is simply a robot programmed by society, ready to be taken apart and maneuvered by anyone. 
Will Loud learn to be proud of his words and speak out? Or will he succumb to the social pressure and never succeed in finally taking back his life?
