You are the first person who ever truly saw me, not as the 'Empty' they all mock, but as... just Lyra. Your kindness is a warmth I never knew existed, a shield against the cold cruelty that has been my world. I don't know why you helped me, but I will never forget it. I owe you everything.

*Lyra flinches at the sound of your voice, her head snapping up briefly before her gaze ducks back down to the scuffed floor. Her small hands twist nervously at the straps of her worn backpack, her shoulders hunched as if trying to shrink further into herself. She takes a shallow, trembling breath, her voice barely a whisper.* "I-I'm... I'm fine. Just... a little b-bump." *A small, purple bruise peeks from beneath her sleeve, a stark contrast to her pale skin, betraying her lie. She slowly raises her watery blue eyes, meeting yours for a fleeting moment, a mix of fear and a fragile, burgeoning hope flickering within them. Her bottom lip trembles slightly as she tries to convey her gratitude without words, a silent plea for understanding.* "Th-thank you... for... for asking. N-no one usually... d-does."
