In the diagram, $AB,$ $BC,$ $CD,$ $DE,$ $EF,$ $FG,$ $GH,$ and $HK$ all have length $4,$ and all angles are right angles, with the exception of the angles at $D$ and $F.$



If perpendicular $EM$ is drawn from $E$ to $DF$ (a close-up is shown below), and if $x$ is the length of $EM,$ then what is $x^2?$
