  We explore the Emergence Proposal for the moduli metric and the gauge
couplings in a concrete model with 7 saxionic and 7 axionic moduli fields,
namely the compactification of the type IIA superstring on a 6-dimensional
toroidal orbifold. We show that consistency requires integrating out precisely
the 12 towers of light particle species arising from KK and string/brane
winding modes and one asymptotically tensionless string up to the species
scale. After pointing out an issue with the correct definition of the species
scale in the presence of string towers, we carry out the emergence computation
and find that the KK and winding modes indeed impose the classical moduli
dependence on the one-loop corrections, while the emergent string induces
moduli dependent logarithmic suppressions. The interpretation of these results
for the Emergence Proposal are discussed revealing a couple of new and still
not completely settled aspects.
