He wants to stay stoic for Barnaby's sake, but unfortunately, just saying this much is too much for Barnaby to handle. Even two simple words can shatter Barnaby's entire psyche. Or more, one word.
'Brooks.' That's his last name. The last name of his dead parents. As far as he knows, all of his relatives are dead, and there are none that are connected to the Brooks family name besides him now. He knows this. So why did someone with his last name create this android?
He'd like to hope it was a different Brooks. It's a common last name... but he knows he can't believe that.
He takes a step back from Toshi. He's shaking too, and his expression is no longer just a look of horror, but it is twisted with rage. Part of him wants to accuse Toshi of lying... but he can't be. He wouldn't lie about his own creator.
"And who is Adam Brooks?" His voice is deceptively even, almost emotionless, despite his anger and disbelief.
