...Well, not a single part of that is worrying at all.
[Wait. No. Zero doesn't understand sarcasm.]
This is one of the times where I say the opposite of what I mean. I am SUPER worried. Obvi, I won't tell them anything, but who's this Alba guy? What does he want? Are you somewhere safe?
I met Jusis once. Seems like a nice guy. He's Elliot's...something.
[He doesn't know what Elliot's complicated romantic life is, but he knows for sure the redhead was VERY keen on getting Jusis to go to the opera with him.
...Oh. And that's. Definitely not okay. That's beyond not okay. That's horrific and it will not stand. The confused worry is very quickly replaced with a worried anger instead. ]
Well, THAT'S not gonna happen. HELL, no. Not on MY watch. People don't get to just come waltzing in here trying to steal my herd. [Staff, he means staff, but that's just what slipped out because he's freaking out and the past life is leaking a little into the present one. You protect your herd, you stick together no matter what.] He can fuck RIGHT off if he thinks that's what he can do. What's the plan for dealing with him? Do we HAVE a plan?
[He needs to know these things, Zero! He has so many questions!!! His gossipy heart needs to be aware of all the tea!]
Okay, good. Good. Looking into him is good. Just in case he's just a regular creep and not an actual sociopathic creep. Big diff there.
You know, I'm usually super anti-murder. Buuuuut I think this is a rare exception because FUCK this guy.
Just be careful, okay? Maybe don't deal with it alone. I know you're a badass and EVERYTHING, but don't take risks by yourself if you can get other people to take risks with you, 'kay?
[Guys murder isn't okay like 99% of the time, come on :<]
Good! That's exactly what you need to do. I get the whole revenge vibe, but for sure not something to do alone!
...Really don't like there's more. Are they safe too? Do we need like, an amber alert or something?
Because you're a flunking delight that's why! And you deserve us. Please let me know if I can do ANYTHING, okay? You are super not alone in any of this.
Good. That's a good take to have. You just wanna be able to know they're not gonna darken your door again, huh?
[He gets it, at least. No one wants that spectre hanging over them. He's not so convinced about the Order- they're not his favourite people. The Order, in Zulius' opinion, aren't much better than any of the other shady groups hanging around here. Control is still control, no matter what mask they put on to do it with.]
Good. Still. We don't want them to HAVE to rely on all that, right?
No you're not. Friends look out for their friends, no debt needed, that's how this WORKS. Trust me. You don't owe me anything.

[Not a word she uses often.]
I'm not sure what this man wants. We suspect he might be trying to recapture me and the other victims of the labs.
I am not going back. I promised the others I would not let them be taken.

Jusis may have a plan, but he is still investigating who this person is.
My plan is to kill him if he reappears near me or the others. I am much stronger than when I escaped the labs.

[So many people here are anti-murder...]
I have been told not to leave the house alone, and I am not alone inside of it either. I will be fine.
There are two others I must take care of-- survivors like myself. I am... concerned for them the most.
I am not sure when I gained so many friends, but I am grateful to them. And to you.

[This is the first time she's really written it down, but... looking at it now, it seems attainable.]
They are also being protected. Jun has countless friends, and Ash has the Black Order.
[Aww... The offer takes her by surprise. But it makes her happy, too...]
Thank you, Zulius. I am in your debt.
