Not snapping at them is usually a good idea.
just let them know you've got tons of shit to work on and can't talk right now
1) Put in earphones/headphones
2) Say you are busy
3) Change desks/office
4) Work from home
5) Say you don't want to talk
If neither of those work, just spit in their mouth next time they open it. Works like a charm 🤷🏿♂️
very funny but… don’t actually do that because it’s assault
Earphone, headphones, ear plugs.
Talk to manager
Explain your boundaries
In a calm and friendly tone I usually let them know I’m very busy and I’m trying to get things done and I’ll catch up with them later. That works most of the time.

In my book, everyone is allowed to get annoyed every once in awhile, but you should apologize.
In terms of dealing with a difficult coworker, unless you are their manager it is not your place to correct their behavior (unless it is a friendly warning if their behavior is hurting their reputation at the company). If possible, discuss it with your supervisor, letting them know that their behavior is impacting your ability to get your work done. That should bring it to their attention and perhaps lead to a discussion between the two of them, not involving you.

Were they Gen Z?
If you cannot tell them directly that you cannot talk, you can always excuse yourself with “I need to go. See you later.”
Then go to the bathroom or grab a drink or take a short walk outside.
Eat lots of garlic. Seriously though, just explain that you need time to concentrate during certain hours.
You can always let them know

It also helps to realize that everyone's human. Talk to them and explain that their talking is distracting to you. If explained well, they'll understand. But dont let it get to a point where you're"snapping" at someone enough to make them cry. That's usually means your reaction was at fault too.
They cried? Ha.
