If there's one thing Barnaby is hoping for, it's that he'll never have to see Maverick again. He wouldn't know how to face him. Part of him would want to kill him, make sure he could never do what he had done to him, but... he knows that would be wrong. He's worked so hard to move on past revenge. He could let Maverick stay alive, even if the thought twists his stomach in knots.

"You aren't demanding. Y-You obviously need to know what's going on. I just... I just really don't understand."

He doesn't understand why memories of this other Kotetsu have been wiped from his memory. He doesn't understand why he can't convince himself that Maverick isn't here. But he does know. And he can't calm down knowing there's even a possibility. His breathing starts getting quicker.
