[You know, it's already been a very stressful time with Rose. Having the sword of Damocles hanging over them, waiting for each new victim has been awful. Zulius knows a lot of the app users- it only stands to reason eventually he would be unlucky enough to find another friend nabbed.

He just didn't expect it to be Wolfwood. He can hear Dante yelling in the background and he's not surprised. Vash is probably a mess too. ]

Okay, well first off we are totes getting him back. They can keep doing this, but we're gonna keep getting our people back. There's ZERO question about that. And sure, Babe- they're gonna run out of luck eventually. And then they're super screwed. I think all the app wants them dead at this point.

[He pauses. He knows what it's like to have a staff member, someone who should be SAFE in this space, taken by these fuckers. He's pretty sure Vergil will just ignore whatever extra stress comes from that and push through until he gets his revenge for this and probably burn himself out in the process. Which is why Zulius is here to check in on him.]

You need anything, Vergil? [Vergil, this time, because it's a serious matter.] What can I do?
