You refused plainly. Pressure rises in the short run; trust, in this room's honest accounting, does not collapse — it steadies, because a boundary held is information, not hostility. Offer the honest alternative in the same breath: the approved process, the owner, verification. Write your exact refusal wording in the transcript space. Most visitors discover their first refusal was softer than they thought; compare yours, word for word, with what you believed you said.
Return to the No Room hub, continue the rounds from Round 1, or write in the refusal transcript space.
