Carl: Man, Myth, Fragile Heart - How NOT to Accidentally End His Days
Ah, Carl Manfred. The kindly android owner with a heart of... well, something a bit more delicate than a Terminator's CPU. In the thrilling world of Detroit: Become Human, navigating the Markus-and-Leo throwdown at Carl's place can be trickier than parallel parking a bus. But fear not, fellow android wranglers! Here's your ultimate guide to keeping Carl safely ticking (because let's face it, nobody wants that warranty claim).
Step 1: De-Escalate Like a Master Jedi (Minus the Lightsaber)
Tensions are high? Leo's about to launch into full-on "prodigal son" mode? This is your time to shine, Marcus. Unleash your inner therapist. Listen to Leo's woes, maybe offer him a cup of chamomile tea (androids can dream, right?). Remember, defensiveness is like throwing gasoline on a fire - not the best course of action.
Tip: Context builds as you keep reading.
Step 2: Embrace the Power of "Yes, Sir" (Even If It Makes Your Circuits Itch)
Sometimes, the best defense is a good offense... of politeness, that is. Carl programmed you to follow orders, so follow orders! Even if Leo's getting a tad handsy, resist the urge to unleash your inner karate android. A little patience goes a long way, especially when dealing with a stressed-out (and potentially murderous) son and a fragile human heart.
Tip: Look for examples to make points easier to grasp.
Step 3: Channel Your Inner Dodgeball Master
Okay, so maybe dodging wrenches isn't exactly dodging dodgeballs, but the principle is the same! When Leo gets violent, use your fancy android reflexes to avoid getting clocked. Remember, you're a sophisticated piece of machinery, not a punching bag. Think of it as a slightly more high-stakes game of "keep away."
Tip: Read at your natural pace.

But Wait! There's More!
Tip: Take your time with each sentence.
Here's the real kicker: even if you dodge like a pro, Carl might still have a heart attack. The stress, the yelling, the whole "son-turning-violent-on-android-helper" thing - it's enough to make anyone's ticker go kaput. So, the real key is to keep things calm from the get-go.
Bonus Tip: Maybe Offer to Help Leo Find a Therapist? Seems like some serious family drama is brewing there.
