Hank and You: A Bromance in the Making (Without Getting Shot)
So you've been assigned to work with Lieutenant Hank Anderson in the world of Detroit: Become Human. Let's face it, Hank isn't exactly known for warm welcomes and sunshine. The man's got enough baggage to fill a CyberLife warehouse, and his enthusiasm for android partners is about as high as a deactivated LED. But fear not, fellow investigator! This guide will equip you with the knowledge (and a few laughs) to turn that frown upside down and forge a bromance for the ages.

| How To Make Hank Like You Detroit |
Step 1: Don't Be a Jerk (This Applies Everywhere, Really)
This might seem obvious, but it's worth mentioning. Hank's seen it all, and android arrogance is about as appealing to him as a bowl of lukewarm robo-chow. Be respectful, even when he's grumpy. A little humility goes a long way. Plus, wouldn't you rather have a grumpy partner who trusts you than a constantly suspicious one?
Subheading: Pro-Tip: Avoid reminding him about the time you made him miss the end of the basketball game. Trust me.
QuickTip: Use posts like this as quick references.
Step 2: Actions Speak Louder Than Words (Especially When Words Are Binary)
Sure, you can spout all the regulations about deviant detection you want, but Hank's a man of action. Show him you're a valuable asset, not just a fancy new gadget. Think "Robo-Rambo," not "Discount Dustbuster." Save his butt during a chase (or dangle and let him save yours, that always builds camaraderie). Solve cases efficiently, and maybe even offer to help him with that pesky paperwork (androids can dream, right?).
Step 3: Bonding is Key (But Maybe Skip the Karaoke)
Look, Hank's not exactly the social butterfly type. Forget dragging him to the club (although the thought of Connor on the dance floor is strangely hilarious). Instead, find common ground. Does he like a particular brand of whiskey? (Not that you'd partake, of course, being an android and all.) Maybe you can both appreciate a good detective novel. Who knows, you might even learn a thing or two about the human condition (or at least how to fake it convincingly).
QuickTip: A slow read reveals hidden insights.
Subheading: Important Note: Unless Hank specifically mentions a fondness for karaoke, avoid it at all costs. Trust me on this.
Step 4: Embrace the Unexpected (Because Let's Face It, Detroit is Full of It)
Sometimes, the best bonding moments come from the craziest situations. You might find yourselves facing down a rogue android together, or maybe you'll have a philosophical discussion over a bowl of rain-soaked noodles (hey, it happens). Roll with the punches, show some compassion (even androids can have that, right?), and you might just surprise yourselves.
Tip: Keep the flow, don’t jump randomly.

Remember, you're a team. And in Detroit, a good team can mean the difference between life and getting recycled.
FAQ: Hank-o-Mania Edition
How to make Hank laugh? Honestly, that's a mystery even Chloe couldn't solve. But a well-timed witty remark (emphasis on well-timed) might elicit a grunt of amusement.
QuickTip: Pause after each section to reflect.
How to avoid getting shot by Hank? Mostly, don't disobey direct orders, and don't put him (or yourself) in unnecessary danger. Also, maybe lay off the "I am Connor, the android sent by CyberLife" routine. It gets old.
How to tell if Hank actually likes you? This is a tricky one. Subtlety isn't exactly Hank's strong suit. But if he stops calling you "tin can" and starts calling you "partner," that's a good sign. Also, if he offers to share his lunch (even if it's just a stale donut), consider it a badge of honor.
How to deal with Hank's past trauma? Listen if he wants to talk, but don't pry. Just be there for him, even if it's just in a silent, non-judgmental android kind of way.
How to convince Hank that androids can be good? Lead by example. Be the best damn android detective he's ever seen, and maybe, just maybe, he'll start to see things differently.
