Why didn't Shouko confess her feelings to Shoya afterwards?


At the scene where Shouko tries to give a plant pot decoration thingy, she
tried to confess her feeling to Shoya, but it was rather interpreted as '
_tsuki_ (moon)'.

I'm wondering now why Shouko didn't confess her feelings later?




After her initial failure, Shoko lost heart. Additionally, another opportunity
never showed up.

First, let's examine what happened. Shoko finally felt comfortable enough
around Shoya to try speaking aloud, and she changed her hair so that she could
confess her feelings, but Shoya rejected her not once, but twice. The first
time was by telling her to use sign language, even going so far to admit she
sounded weird when Shoko asked. The second rejection came when he
misunderstood her confession as meaning "moon". It really doesn't matter if
Shoya genuinely was having a difficult time understanding what Shoko was
saying; this outcome definitely hurt Shoko and shattered her confidence. This
is evident when she runs home and throws herself on her bed, only communicates
by sending two despairing texts to Yuzuru. She also went back to mainly using
sign language to speak to Shoya. Supposing her romantic feelings even remained
intact afterwards, she wouldn't be trying again for a long while. In her
despair, she probably felt stupid for trying in the first place.

And then what happened? Soon afterwards, even more of their former classmates
started showing up at the Tuesday meetings (invited or otherwise). Shoko was
alone with Shoya a lot less often, so there were few opportunities to confess
with him. And with what happened later in the story, Shoko became more
preoccupied with her feelings of guilt, pushing any ideas of confessing far
from mind.
