Refugee Dilemma: Return to Greece?

• On the twenty-ninth day, a supervisor summoned Ahmed and his father to the front office. They were met by Reka, who had a thick folder.
• Ahmed noticed Reka's brow was creased with anger.
• Reka apologizes for the delay in meeting them, stating she has been trying to see them for weeks.
• Ahmed interjects, asking Reka to tell Max to free them soon.
• Reka says that deporting them back to Greece is a concern, and there's no legal way to get them to Belgium or Germany.
• These countries are not taking in any more refugees, except through Turkey.
• Ahmed is disheartened by the thought of returning to Izmir, feeling it would negate everything they've been through.
• Ahmed's father asks if they have to return to Turkey to have a chance to come back to Europe.
• Reka replies that the conditions at the camps in Greece are bad due to the halt in migration north, but her contacts in Greece will try to help if they stay there for a while.
• Ahmed's father thanks Reka and pats Ahmed's hand, but Ahmed isn't fooled and recognizes they only have bad choices.
• Ahmed asks Reka to explain the situation to Max.
• Reka says that Max is still trying to find a way to get them back to Belgium.
• Despite everything, Ahmed manages a smile, assuming Max is thinking about Albert Jonnart and applying his lessons to their situation.
• Ahmed reflects on Jonnart's story which didn't have a happy ending, as Jonnart died in captivity and was mostly forgotten seventy years later.
• The worth of Jonnart's story is questioned in saving a single boy, and the fate of Ralph after the war.
• Ahmed thanks Reka and returns to their room with his father and the supervisor.
• Ahmed's father says "Don't worry, at least we are together" in Arabic
• Ahmed forces a smile and considers the power of a single story.
• He realizes that a single story is powerful enough to reunite a father and son but not powerful enough to change their destiny.
• He thinks that one story can't change the world just like one person couldn't.
• Ahmed catches his breath and runs toward the mobile Internet unit, wanting to write to Max.

Ahmed and his father face a tough decision regarding their refugee status. Deportation to Greece looms, with limited options for reaching Belgium or Germany due to migration restrictions. Returning to Izmir feels like a setback, but conditions in Greek camps are dire.
