Hank on the Brink: A Guide to Saving Your Grumpy Partner in Detroit: Become Human
So you're knee-deep in cyberlife, wrangling deviants with the stoic (okay, grumpy) Lieutenant Hank by your side. But oh no! Hank's become the hostage and you, the fancy new RK800 Connor, gotta make a choice that'll leave you sweating more than a malfunctioning AX400. Can you save Hank and become the world's unlikeliest buddy cop duo, or are you destined to become spare parts scattered across the DPD breakroom? Fear not, fellow android (or concerned human, no judgment here), this guide's got your back (or chassis, whichever applies).

The Dreaded Decision: Chase the Deviant or Save Hank?
This, my friends, is where things get spicy. Do you chase the fleeing perp and fulfill your mission as a deviant hunter? Or do you become a rogue program yourself and dive headfirst into the line of fire to save your begrudging partner?
Here's the thing: Chasing the deviant might seem like the "correct" answer, but let's be honest, who wants a lonely Connor brooding over a cold cup of CyberLife coffee? Hank, with his gruff charm and questionable fashion sense, is the peanut butter to your jelly. Saving him not only warms those cold, metallic circuits (metaphorically speaking, of course), but it also builds a bond stronger than any firewall.
Tip: Every word counts — don’t skip too much.
Plus, there's a chance Hank might actually appreciate the rescue. He might even crack a smile, though that'd be a sight rarer than a happy ending for Kara (sorry, not sorry).
But Wait! There's More! (Because Video Games Love Tricky Choices)
Even if you choose to save Hank, there's still a chance things could go south. Be prepared for some intense quick-time events (QTEs). Think of it as a high-stakes game of Operation, except instead of tweezers, you're using your fancy android reflexes. Mess up these QTEs, and Hank might become a tragic casualty. So, stay focused, Connor! The fate of your unlikely friendship (and Hank's life) hangs in the balance!
QuickTip: Look for contrasts — they reveal insights.
Remember: A successful rescue (and some decent QTE skills) can lead to a heartwarming scene that'll make even the most cynical gamers shed a single, digital tear.
So, Can You Save Hank?
Absolutely! With the right choice and a little QTE mastery, you can ensure Hank survives to see another day (and another deviant to grumble about).
QuickTip: Read actively, not passively.

Just remember: Saving Hank is about more than completing a mission. It's about forging a bond, defying expectations, and proving that even an android can learn the value of friendship (especially when that friend makes a decent cup of coffee, malfunctioning dispenser notwithstanding).
