Daniel walked in, quiet but serious.
"Phone down. We need to talk."
He explained that my attempts to sneak out had annoyed the guards and broken his rules. He wasn't angry, just disappointed. He said my safety was important, and I should talk to him next time instead of trying to sneak around. It wasn't a punishment, exactly, but his quiet disappointment felt worse than any yelling. I knew I'd messed up.
