Yooooo, lets deal with some of Barba’s post trial trauma shall we???
In the weeks since Rafael’s trial you could feel him pulling away from you. You tried your hardest to be there for him but he wasn’t letting you in. It had been an emotionally draining experience for the both of you and you were desperate to talk about it with him.
Expressing feelings wasn’t the Barba way. Instead he locked himself in the bedroom and slept. Self medicating with an expensive whiskey when his thoughts got the better of him. If you tried to talk to him he would just brush it off.
