Hank's dilemma involves conflicting thoughts and emotions - on one hand, he wants to attend the concert and see his favorite band, but on the other hand, he has a responsibility to work and potentially faces negative consequences if he doesn't show up. This type of internal conflict is known as cognitive dissonance.
