Daryl was stripped of his classic biker look and signature crossbow, reduced to a broken, filthy, and starving captive trapped in a dark, empty cell at the Sanctuary. Physical and Mental State Appearance: Stripped naked initially, he later wore a grubby, oversized prisoner sweatsuit marked with a large painted letter "A" to show he belonged to the Saviors. Exhaustion: He suffered from severe sleep deprivation after being forced to listen to the upbeat pop song "Easy Street" blaring on a continuous loop. Diet: He was fed a grim diet consisting only of dog food sandwiches. Guilt: He carried crushing emotional weight and self-blame, knowing his sudden outburst and punch toward Negan directly caused Glenn’s brutal death. Captivity and DefianceIsolation: Kept in total darkness and isolation to break his independent spirit. Refusal to Break: Despite the psychological games, physical abuse, and Negan waving his barbed-wire bat Lucille or showing him gruesome polaroids of Glenn's remains, Daryl stubbornly refused to kneel or say "I'm Negan".
