paradise is a place with you.

Ada wasn’t here.

Ada wasn’t here to tell him if he was making the right choices here or not, but...this person had also been at the manor, hadn’t he? So it would probably be okay to follow after him - especially since Ada was always encouraging him to speak with new people. 

And this was someone he had (although, not much to his face) interacted with before. He remembered that Ada had asked him if he wanted to travel, to go to France, but...he only needed her to be happy. If she wanted to explore the world, he’d be happy to go with her, but otherwise...he didn’t need to. 

Joseph had said he wanted to take a picture. While Emil was a little upset it was one he had to take by himself - it would make for a good gift when Ada finally arrived, wouldn’t it? Because surely, she’d get here soon. She would never leave him alone for long. 

( and, he couldn’t help but think that he was a little curious. he had only had his picture taken at the hospital before, and all they hadn’t even asked him beforehand. )
