Choices
Yellow Line+3
You can't just have anyone going through. I get it. Must be hard for you to say no all the time.
Yellow Line+3
I understand. You can't let everyone through. Rules are rules.

Yellow options branch out more depending on the result of your choice but will yield more persuasion points if successful. Try to choose the green one if you're close to failing to have a higher chance of succeeding!

All Red Choices

& Points
Choices
Red Line+5
Don't stand in my way. You won't like where it goes.
Red Line+6
I'm being nice by asking first. I'm getting in there one way or another.

Red choices are the most difficult to succeed, but you can persuade Emin in one turn if you're successful. You can choose the red one in your first turn and test your luck, but try to pick a yellow or a green one if you fail to increase your chances of succeeding.
