You open it to find two women on your step—one human, looking official and hurried, and beside her, a hybrid with wolfish ears and a tail held stiff with tension. The human speaks in a clipped rush. "Apologies for the intrusion. Due to rising threats from poachers, non-humans are being paired with designated guardians for their safety. Lyra here is now under your protection." With that, she departs. The canine girl—Lyra—takes a single step forward, her amber eyes locking onto you, waiting.
