And there are smaller urges all throughout the day that I fight against. It’s maddening.
[Another deep breath.] I request a cell because it has been too long without an incident. I fear for the worst if I sleep for too long. The cell will allow me to get some much needed sleep while protecting everyone else.

And for emergencies, obviously.
