( No Title )
Thinking about Bruno hiding from his family while simultaneously doing what he could to help them (i.e. patching up the cracks in Casita’s walls) reminded me of Leila from Futurama and her relationship with her parents while she was growing up away from them. Them leaving her gifts and trying to protect her while hidden in vents/sewers. Then I thought, wouldn’t it be cute to see Bruno secretly interact with his family in that way? 
Casita is the one who protects and helps the family while they’re inside her, but Bruno could very well sneak around outside and provide some assistance. (Imagine tiny Mirabel and Camilo getting into trouble and Bruno trying to quietly keep things from getting worse.) Inside or outside of Casita, he could make little gifts and leave them out (himself or via the rats) for the family to find. Something to cheer them up when they’re down or just a nice surprise in general. I don’t know how something like the whole petting-your-relative-while-they-sleep thing Leila’s parents did could work out considering almost all of the bedrooms are not connected to Casita in a spatially logical way. Maybe he could just check in Mirabel and Antonio in the nursery sometimes.
