She can picture it all too well in her head. She'd seen the bat -- wrapped in barbed wire -- right as he was about to swing it at Carl the previous day. She schools her expression in neutrality, not willing to flinch or blanch at anything he says, no matter how much it hurts to hear. He needs this. She'll be calm and collected for him the way he always has been for her when she needed him to be.
But the thought of Daryl railing against Negan at that point is almost too much even for her to stomach. When they'd been so outnumbered, so outgunned. In an instant his life could have been over.
For him, there had been worse punishment for lashing out. Instead of going after him, Negan had taken it out on Glenn instead.
"He was toying with you. With all of you," she says very quietly. "It's what men like Negan do."
