So Hathach went out to Mordecai in the open square of the city before the king's gate, demonstrating that the intermediary's journey takes him outside the confines of the palace to where Mordecai is mourning publicly, bridging the physical and institutional distance between Esther in the palace and Mordecai in the streets. This physical journey from inside the palace to outside in the city square represents the path along which information about the crisis will travel to Esther, informing her of the threat and prompting her to action.
