Level sets of the polynomial function $𝑥^2+𝑦^2−𝑥+𝑦−𝑎𝑥𝑦$ over $\mathbb{ZF}_𝑝$

Let 𝑝 be an odd prime and assume $ℎ(𝑥)=𝑥^2+𝑎𝑥+1$ be an$𝑥^2+ax+1$ is irreducible polynomial over the field $\mathbb{Z}_p$$\mathbb{F}_p$. The polynomial function

$$\Psi:\mathbb{Z}_p^2⟶\mathbb{Z}_p,\quad (𝑥,𝑦)\mapsto 𝑥^2+𝑦^2−𝑥+𝑦−𝑎𝑥𝑦$$$$\Psi:\mathbb{F}_p^2⟶\mathbb{F}_p,\quad (x,y)\mapsto 𝑥^2+𝑦^2−x+y-axy$$

is surjective, as proved here: Image of a polynomial function $x^2+y^2-x+y-axy$ over $\mathbb{F}_p$.

I would like to compute a set of representatives of the classes of the kernel of Ψ $\Psi$ (i.e., the relation $𝑘𝑒𝑟(\Psi)={((𝑥,𝑦),(𝑡,𝑤))\in \mathbb{Z}_p^4, \, \Psi(𝑥,𝑦)=\Psi(𝑡,𝑤)})$$\ker(\Psi)=\{(x,y,t,w)\in \mathbb{F}_p^4, \, \Psi(𝑥,𝑦)=\Psi(t,w)\})$. So basically I would like to provide ahave an explicit set of $𝑝−1$$p-1$ elements of $\mathbb{ℤ}_p^2$$\mathbb{F}_p^2$ that havetake on all differentthe nonzero values in $\mathbb{F}_p$ when you appliesapply $\Psi$. (I am not interestedFinding a solution to the case $\Psi(𝑥,𝑦)=0$)$\Psi(x,y)=0$ is obvious.)

Is there a way to do thatthis in general, regardless who isof the value of $p$?
