Damien's figure appeared on a rooftop far away from Audrey Price's lab. Despite the fact that he had the key, he still had to be cautious.
Surveillance was strictly forbidden within the labs for various reasons, but any areas attached to the lab would be heavily surveilled. It was almost impossible to sneak inside without being noticed.
And although Damien didn't have to worry about this problem as much due to his skill set, it didn't mean he was completely free from it.
His spatial abilities, at least in terms of travel, depended heavily on awareness.
His awareness was a medium by which the spatial layers could connect to him. His body became part of a circuit through which he could move with the utmost ease. Naturally, as his awareness spread further and his perception weakened, his accuracy in moving would also decrease.
