Opening up is something he has done for Barnaby, and would be willing to do again... given time. He's too worried about the hero for now, and too fussed over how this revelation will affect him all over again. He will remain stoic for Barnaby's sake for the foreseeable future. Even if he can't manage to say the right thing at all, anymore.

It's a lot to have to accept. Toshi will leave him be, let himself be rejected, if that is what Barnaby needs and asks of him. Just a simple request and he will be gone. He's almost tempted to leave anyway, with the way Barnaby is looking at him. That look of horror hurts terribly.

As does the question. Memories of Adam flash before Toshi's eyes and he reacts far more than he means to. He doesn't even realize he's making a pathetic sound of pain and fear, as he curls away from Barnaby and looks down to hide his face in hair. He's shaking, a little, half lost to the past and half present.

His voice is small. "Adam Brooks."
