[ When he'd split off from Ingo that day, he'd had no notions or expectations that Ingo would just stay put.
Okay, that's a lie. Maybe a small part of him thought it, that Ingo would stay in town or somewhere that's safe or not inherently so risky to venture into. But that's also irrational and unreasonable. Also probably unhealthy. They've split up and decoupled before, with the expectation that it would be only temporary in the end, so any new separation anxiety is... probably not a good sign. But that's on Emmet. Ingo can do whatever he wants! Emmet is not his keeper.
But anyway, Emmet seems a bit distracted or lost in thought as he returns to the Spire. Successful rescue of the one they were tasked to find, but the fact that Tangela was in fact originally sent out after someone else, who's probably been sitting in the belly of some large predator for a little while now...
... Oh. Ingo is napping. Did something happen? The Typhlosion seems to need the rest, so Emmet does his best not to wake or disturb him when he realizes... but that's probably not accounting for a life lived in the wilds of Hisui. ]
