Emily? Emily was that name that sounded familiar to him. It seemed as though he was going to remember her, but there was an obstruction. He was probably only remembering things he’d been told of. No one has told him about Emily yet. However, he knew that there was a story to Emily. He was curious to know, to ask Turner about the connection between him and Emily but somehow, he’d rather prefer to know what his past life was like with his father and what his future held instead of knowing someone that might not hold any significance.
