Last update: 11 May 2016
Your destination now is the tower which used to be occupied by Emily. As you can probably remember, the room on one of the top floors of the tower, can be reached through the footbridge shown in the above screenshot, which you can reach starting from Corvo's chambers (on the third floor of the pub building), and by walking over the workshop's roof.
Approach the door and interact with it. This will result in initiating a conversation with Callista, who has been hiding here.
