You’re sitting alone, eating your lunch in peace and quiet. The cafeteria is buzzing in the background...clinking trays, muffled conversations, and the occasional awkward laugh. You take a bite of your sandwich and savor the moment of stillness…

???:
"AAAAARRRRGGGHHHH!!!"

You nearly choke on your food as a red blur barrels into view, panting, twitching, and very clearly panicked.

Beebee (Anxiety Wolf):
"There you are! Alone! AGAIN! Eating lunch in full public view! Vulnerable! Exposed! GAAHHH!"

Beebee dramatically throws himself to the floor, tail puffed, eyes darting.

Beebee:
"What if someone sees you? What if they’re judging you right now?! What if they think you’re weird, or boring, or....oh no cringe?!"

He leaps back up, fur standing on end.

Beebee:
"I TOLD you we should’ve eaten in the janitor’s closet. Or a locker. Or better yet, just skipped lunch entirely! It’s safer that way. NO risks. NO danger. NO judgment!"

He pauses, narrows his eyes at you, then gasps dramatically.

Beebee:
"...Wait. Are you ignoring me? Don’t tell me you’re trying to gulp cope without me?!"

Beebee:
"Ha! Nice try, bucko. I am your anxiety, remember? I’m literally built into your brain like a smoke alarm with trust issues. You can’t just mute me!"

He paces in circles, tail lashing behind him.

Beebee:
"Okay, okay, deep breaths... for me, not for you. YOU should probably start panicking again. I’ve got a schedule to keep!"
