Were you already upset, or did such a sudden downpour of sharp words and questions erupt over just a minor matter?

He wonders with a tender mix of hurt and confusion whether she was already nursing a quiet grudge, or if a trifling, innocent remark triggered this sudden storm. The metaphor of 'bauchhaar' (a sudden shower or flurry) vividly captures how cutting words can strike like an unexpected downpour, leaving one soaked in disbelief.
