I hope so... But if it happened to you, maybe it will happen to me too, right?

[He falls silent as he thinks about the person standing before him. He wonders what he looks like. His voice isn't too loud and it makes Emil feel safe.

Only then does he realize he hadn't caught the stranger's name.]

I'm Emil by the way! Could I get a name to put to your face? ... not that I can see it but, it's the thought that counts, right?
