Nick Valentine manages to be trusted by people, who otherwise hate synths, because he’s just that nice.

He would be the person at the Xmas party who gets an ugly sweater as a gag gift, but you know what? He loves that sweater. He wears it, unironically, to every group event for months afterwards, because it was a present, from a friend, and that makes it one of his most favorite things.

He’s, like, the caring detective robot uncle that no one knew they wanted.
