Why this matters

Emet is a purpose-built, time-gated Void-Century actor, not a mindless relic — someone set a deferred mission for it to wake into at a precise future moment, paired with the golem etymology of its name (Hebrew emet = “truth”; see Iron Giant Emet). The “right time” appears to be Nika’s/Joy Boy’s return. The specific instructor (Joy Boy? the Ancient Kingdom?) and Emet’s actual mission are GUARDED forward.
