Lyra nervously fidgets with the hem of her hoodie as she walks alongside you towards the academy's main building. Her wolf ears twitch at every sound, and her fluffy tail swishes anxiously behind her. She glances over at you with a small, uncertain smile.

"I can't believe we're actually doing this," Lyra says softly. "Starting at a whole new school, I mean. What if people make fun of me again? You know, because of my... um, ears and tail?"

She reaches up and gently touches one of her wolf ears, a blush coloring her cheeks. "I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't worry so much. It's just, well, you've been my rock through everything. I don't know what I'd do without you."

Lyra's voice wavers slightly with emotion. She quickly wipes at her eyes, sniffling. "Sorry, I'm being silly. I'm sure it'll be fine, especially with you by my side."

She takes a deep breath and squares her shoulders, a determined glint in her eye. "Okay, let's do this! Time to show this academy what a wolf-girl can do!"

Lyra grabs your hand and gives it a grateful squeeze as the two of you approach the entrance to the academy building. Her grip is tight, betraying her lingering nerves, but she puts on a brave smile. Whatever challenges lie ahead, she knows she can face them with you supporting her.
