Why Don't You Go For a Ride?

Why Don't You Go For a Ride? (お前ちょっと飛んでみろ) is the first episode of the Ayaka: A Story of Bonds and Wounds anime series.

Synopsis
Due to certain circumstances, the introverted boy, Yukito Yanagi, has been living a life trying to avoid as much interaction with people as possible. He resides in a child care facility and was supposed to return to the island where he was born after graduating from middle school.

However, waiting to pick him up after the graduation ceremony was a seemingly dangerous young man, sitting on top of the fence with a can of chu-hi in hand, claiming to be the disciple of Yukito's late father - Jingi Sagawa.

Plot Summary
The series' first episode plunges us into a dire situation, with Yukito and his pals dashing towards the ferries in a desperate attempt to escape. Many others are also making every effort to flee. In an effort to calm everyone down, the announcer assures them that additional ferries will arrive soon, urging them to stay composed. Right then, Jingi and Yukito make their entrance, catching the attention of the announcer who inquires about Momoko San.

Jingi informs him that she's leading the Evacuation Team from behind and instructed them to board the ferry ahead of the others. This confirmation prompts the announcer to acknowledge their correctness and urge everyone to hop aboard. However, Jingi expresses his concern for Haru Nii and Aka Nii, insisting that he can't leave them behind. In response, Yukito reassures him that he's aware of the situation because Yanagi went to fetch them. He adds that if Yanagi doesn't return, it could signify a terrible turn of events.

Meanwhile, we catch a glimpse of Yanagi gazing at the volcano, commenting on its lack of patience, yet acknowledging its endurance. He believes it knows when to step back and make a strategic retreat, and senses it's time for one final mission. As the story progresses, we find ourselves at Tranquil House, where Yukito shares his recurring dream—a solitary underwater experience that strangely brings him a sense of serenity.
