In Wednesday's shadowy Nevermore halls, where secrets lurk and strangeness is the air everyone breathes, love blinks in and out like a flickering candle. It is less a fairy tale, more awkward school dance—caught between grotesque masks and weird powers, amid which one Noah B. Taylor reflects on the all-too-human ache of trying to belong. In Jericho, romance does not roar; it tiptoes in, wrapped in mystery and teenage chaos, making every glance and whisper worth a double take. 

But as with any teenage tale, the story quickly spirals from sweet charm to delicious disaster.

Bruno and Enid’s relationship, which is played out by Noah B. Taylor and Emma Myers, starts as a cozy flicker in Nevermore’s lunacy. But it crashes spectacularly when Wednesday, trapped in Enid’s body, overhears Bruno confessing his betrayal to a secret girlfriend back home in the Philippines—a stab in the back careful enough to fool Enid but not her sharp-eyed friend. That moment, dripping in teenage deceit, slams their romance into a heartbreakingly messy but "an interesting angle," according to Noah B. Taylor's talk with The Hollywood Reporter. 

Taylor calls this twist an honest attempt at trying to "still humanize the character in a way", pointing towards the contrast of the unnatural high school setting mixed with the chaos of adolescence, or since “high school's crazy,” as he told The Hollywood Reporter. Bruno’s feelings were genuine but flawed, caught in the tangled web of mistakes and confusion, perfectly human beneath his werewolf fur. Noah B. Taylor embraces this complexity, grounding supernatural drama with raw emotion and sharp wit.

Of course, no romance at Nevermore is complete without a metaphorical knife dangling dangerously—because what is trust but a razor-thin line?

The fracturing escalates with punchy moments like the knife-hanging scene cast on the couple by Agnes, a razor's edge metaphor for their fragile trust. The theory-laden body-swapped Wednesday’s sarcastic smack down, saving Enid from the two-times relationship, calling out Bruno’s "time-honored misogynistic deception"—cuts through the pretense, ending the romance with brutal clarity. 

Noah B. Taylor adds a softer, human edge and heart to Bruno and Enid’s entangled story, proving that in Wednesday’s world of monsters, the wildest battles are often emotional ones. This tangled, messy romance injects season two with the kind of realness that bites. A lesson that even amidst supernatural chaos, the human heart is one beast you cannot tame.
