Toshi assumes this Adam is from before his death, or from some other version of events that went differently, since he's now very much under the impression that infinite universe theory is correct. He isn't sure which is worse: his Adam coming back from the dead, or the possibility of potentially infinite Adams from all slightly different realities trying to come find revenge.
The sense of oncoming dread has only built as the days went by without Adam actually cornering him, or taking him aside, or in any way putting down his front of being Barnaby. It has to be coming. Toshi knows him well enough to know that. Adam won't be satisfied until he can threaten him as himself, and not just in silent, subtle ways.
That sense of dread gives a powerful spike, and for a moment Toshi wonders if he's actually broken something, when he realizes it was his sensors going off because of Him.
He's here.
Toshi knows it before Adam knocks on the door. Too soft. Too gentle. It makes his skin prickle in fear. The calm before the storm of Adam's rage. He must be so incredibly angry. Memories of being broken, ripped open, smashed, brutalized...
He rips himself back to the present as Adam steps in. He feels dizzy. He can't see straight.
