With the advice Kiuchi gave her and a few different maps of the city on her phone set up with pins, Hela ventured out into the night after finishing with her photo development session in the darkroom, she was pretty much living in this close to the end of the semester. She had gotten nearly everything done, including the blown-up photos for her final presentation on different camera angles and their use in stylized photography. It had been, for the most part, an uneventful semester so she had gotten a lot of extra credit work done to make sure she had good grades even when she had a lackluster group for group projects.

While getting on a rooftop wasn't something she liked or really had a lot of legal experience with, she managed it just fine and navigated through the route she'd set up on her phone as she let the wraiths do their thing. It gave her some good mileage for her Pokémon Go account as she went, spinning stops and things as she took a few cursory glances over the edge of the rooftop she stood on. Heights weren't great, they made her uncomfortable, but she wasn't really afraid, like some people were. But it was fascinating to see the wraiths doing their little job and puttering around from person to person as they drained energy off of them. She could see how it might be easier and safer to do it this way, up above, instead of in the thick of it and closer to where all the people were that might notice something was up.

Taking a moment to watch the sky, staring at the unusual lightning that still crossed over the city, she worried how things might go. While Remarque and Kiuchi had experience with things like this and all the extra magic mumbo jumbo that mirror space did, she still wasn't sure of it all. It was just so much more than she'd figured she'd have to do when she'd sort of tumbled into this when she'd first met Remarque a few years back. While she hadn't been bothered really to do much, the two times she'd been yanked into things had ended up being really dangerous in a way she hadn't been prepared for.

So as she moved from point to point and let her wraiths do their thing, she started to read up on the information that was available through her compact. Whatever else was getting put in there by the others would at least give her some sort of background for what was going on, or at least give her enough to be on the same page as everyone. She hadn't been the only one to see weird stuff in the mirrors, or to see the wraiths being restless as Remarque had called it. That was at least sort of reassuring, giving her a little less to worry about as her wraiths finally made their way back to the new and different mirror shard. She'd have to go bring it back to Mirrorspace, to that thing that seemed to appear out of nowhere. It was a start at least, something she could say she was doing to help everyone else be prepared.
