( No Title )
You fuckers got me actually shipping Bruno and the Fish Lady. (Who is apparently named Senora Osma Pezmureto.)
I just know these two are exs. I just know it. They give off lovers to enemies (to back to lovers)
Personally in this scenario I like to imagine that the fish dying prophcey happened close to Mirabel’s fifth birthday. Bruno was already tense because of all the preparations that have to go into a gift ceremony. So to destress or something he looks to future of his love.
Enter dead fish prophecy.
Osma finds out and she’s not angry but she is somewhat freaked out. Despite it being only her fish this is the first time Bruno has seen a death. That means Bruno can see anyone die. It’s a hard pill to swallow, especially when majority of the village believes Bruno causes the future to happen.
Bruno, who is as equally freaked out, tries to reassure her that it was probably way later down the line. Osma agrees but the seriousness of a prophecy that could predict a death distracts her and she forgot to feed her fish.
The next day the fish is dead.
Both are even more freaked out by this, and maybe they have a fight. They don’t break up but Osma insists to wait until after Mirabel’s gift ceremony so Bruno wasn’t as tense. Bruno’s insecurities are starting to hit and he thinks Osma is just trying to be nice before dumping him.
The ceremony is a disaster and Bruno disappears.
Osma is hearbroken and in that heartbreak she fixates on the dead fish. Is she actually angry about the fish and the prophecy? No, maybe a little uncomfortable that a man she loves could easily predict her own death if he looked hard enough, but honestly anyone would. What Osma was really angry at was how their relationship ended, and for the past 10 years she has had unanswered questions.
(This idea gets even better when you add the headcannon that Osma is Felix’s unnamed sister who lives in the village.)
