He's not the only one who's anxious. Barnaby's earlier anxiety is rapidly returning, and he's unable to follow Toshi's guidelines to avoid the panic now. He's too angry for that. He doesn't want to listen to anything this robot says.
He's a liar. He has to be lying. There's no way any of this could have actually happened. There isn't a fragment of it left in his memories.
(Because Maverick took away any trace of them, and Barnaby was left never knowing he even had a brother.)
There's no way he'd have a brother.
(Because Maverick obviously would have hidden the birth records and any extra photos. He had made Kotetsu disappear, why not Barnaby's own brother?)
There's no way Ouroboros hasn't fallen.

"I... don't remember having a brother. I... no. It's impossible. None of this adds up." It all does, and he's just too horrified to admit it. "You're telling me I had a brother who was able to program a robot on his own? Why would he even want Kotetsu? What would he have been planning? I should have heard of him, if he was part of Ouroboros, and I was investigating them..."
