That fear is something they have in common. Toshi is terrified of hurting Barnaby more, especially after all he's already managed to do since arriving at this ridiculous castle. He's afraid of being hurt, too, but far less so than doing the hurting. He can endure being hurt, but he can't live with himself if he becomes something harmful again.
Toshi's still scared to look at him straight-on consistently, but boy does he also want a hug. To hug. He wants to make it better, somehow, even if he's certain he can't. He's so scared of accidentally manipulating Barnaby again. If he's blushing, Toshi doesn't notice it.
"It... it hurt to see you that way..." He admits in a moment of pained vulnerability. He shifts uncomfortably. "Y-you're worth so much more than that. I just. Want you to know. And remember." God he's making his way more awkward isn't he? The android is probably blushing now.
"Thank you. I felt very guilty for how my presence obviously," he swallows around the word, "manipulated your mind. I'm sorry for that." He can just shut down and crumple unconscious to the floor now thanks that would be grand.
