he's like some kind of annoying brother that bruno never wanted tbh
FOR REAL, THOUGH, bear with me as I ramble since I came home with covid haha. :') Bruno has a lot of conflicting feelings when it comes to Solomon, and that makes him feel like he is a part of the family. There's no other way to explain it. He frets about him and his harebrained ideas and is chronically expecting him to do something stupid. So, y'know, like the Mammon of the family, just.... smarter.... There we go. I said it.
All that aside, even with the jail, punching, and shady business, he does care about Solomon. He considers him a friend regardless of what he gets up to, which comes out as him fretting over him a lot. It's not entirely unlike Akira, where Bruno is similarly at a loss over how to deal with such an A-type personality (not derogatory - mostly).
While from Solomon's side, Bruno grew to appreciate how candid he was towards him. He turned out to be someone he could confide in and also someone who was positive about Bruno growing as a person. That meant more to him than Solomon might realize, considering he's had a, like, no one... ever... to talk to ever since he and his sisters were on the outs into their teenage years. Admittedly, that changed a lot in wizard world, where people actually did want to talk to him, but Solomon did always seem to have a good idea of what Bruno needed to hear at most given times.
