This isn't where you end up when a mirror bridge explodes in your face. She's sure of it. You don't grow up in the Library of the Neitherlands without picking up this kind of information. By all accounts, she should be suspended between worlds, trapped in a place where time and space have no meaning. And Victoria--
Shit. Victoria has to be here too, just as confused as Harriet herself. And since Harriet is the reason this happened -- sort of; it was more her mom's fault for sticking to the rules and regs like she'll literally die if she so much as bends one of them -- she feels responsible, or responsible enough to decide to go and look for the younger woman who fueled the bridge with her blood.
Harriet marches downstairs like a woman on a mission. She looks up and down the street, decides to head to the busiest section of the city, and pays close attention to every person she passes. Victoria will look drawn from blood loss, staggering along, every step a struggle. She probably won't even notice Harriet's here.

It... does not look appetizing at all. She makes a face that broadcasts oh, gross with perfect clarity, but you know what? She's hungry. How is a dreamer, a Sleeper, hungry? And how are there actually people eating this shit? Maybe it's fake? It's gotta be fake.
She walks up to the person closest her, and when she has their attention, she says both in sign and out loud, ]
Is this a joke? A Halloween thing?
