It almost doesn't matter that Barnaby can't stay stoic. Toshi is too busy trying to keep himself grounded, too worried and anxious on all levels about sharing this truth that he can't observe as well as he should. He can't even look at Barnaby.
Since this Barnaby doesn't know him... he wouldn't know the truth of Ouroboros, would he? He might still be missing the memories of his twin brother, taken away for an entirely different purpose by Maverick and raised into a monster. Toshi is a monster too, for making him learn this now. Learn it like this.
He glances up, sees Barnaby's face, and looks back down in despair. He shouldn't have said this, shouldn't have said anything. Should have made something up or been vague... He can't back out now.
"Your brother. Taken by Ouroboros, made invisible by Maverick..." It was all Maverick's chess game from the beginning, but Adam turned out far more twisted than even the chessmaster himself. Toshi keeps his face in his hands, struggling against tears.
