This or these examples of Surprisingly Realistic Outcome seem to violate at least one of these rules, which disqualifies them: No character reactions (characters get angry, don't forgive, don't change their personality instantly, etc.); Too fantastical (depends on the properties of magic, powers, sci-fi tech, monsters, etc.); Not surprising (a character was warned about the outcome, it's used to provide Karma or An Aesop, or it simply follows normal conventions for this genre or medium); Plot happens (the example only describes an event, but not why audiences would expect a different, unrealistic outcome); Not an outcome (a character just explains why something wouldn't work as expected, or something is just an innate aspect of the setting or character that has a logical reason for being present); More of a Deconstruction (the event has major, lasting effects on the plot, make something more realistic, but not completely realistic, or a parody/fanwork applies realistic consequences to the events of a different work); or fits better under a different trope. See the trope's definition for more details. If you believe a removal was a mistake, please bring it up in the cleanup thread

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: No, Mirabel doesn't peg the weird squatter living in the walls with his pet rats as her estranged uncle, even when she learns that he's wearing his clothing. It's ten years since she last saw him, her family's refusal to talk about Bruno means she has no way to know how he's supposed to look like or behave, and the squatter's own explanation that he simply took the clothing from Bruno's abandoned room explains things well enough on their own.

While working on an embroidery project, Mirabel's prized golden thread is snatched up by rats. She runs after it and discovers a secret opening behind a painting on the second level of the casita, revealing the inner corridors of the house where a strange man is living in her house. He calls himself Ratón and begs her not to tell anyone and she reluctantly agrees, the two becoming the unlikeliest of friends. How will she react when she learns that he's her long-lost Tío Bruno?

* InsistentTerminology: Bruno/Ratón repeatedly insists that the rats he bunks with are "mice", not "rats", no doubt because "rat" has worse connotations.
* IntergenerationalFriendship: Due to Mirabel's BlackSheep status in the village and family and the fact that Ratón lives alone in the wall of a person's house in secret, they are pretty much the only friends they have despite one of them being in the mid-teens and Ratón pushing fifty.

* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: In canon, Mirabel doesn't meet Bruno until a day after Antonio's gift ceremony. Here she finds out about him weeks before it.
* AtrociousAlias: The fake name Bruno went with is "Ratón". Not only is it obviously fake, but it literally means "rat".
* InsistentTerminology: Bruno/Ratón repeatedly insists that the rats he bunks with are "mice", not "rats", no doubt because "rat" has worse connotations.
* IntergenerationalFriendship: Due to Mirabel's BlackSheep status in the village and family and the fact that Ratón lives alone in the wall of a person's house in secret, they are pretty much the only friends they have despite one of them being in the mid-teens and Ratón pushing fifty.
* PoorCommunicationKills: When Mirabel tries pushing the issue regarding Bruno and who he was to Pepa, this is when she notices a crack forming in the wall and immediately presumes that she is somehow hurting the house. Since Pepa didn't see the crack, she assumes that she chased her niece off and tries apologizing later on.
* WhamEpisode: In [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/35353702/chapters/90093613 Chapter 11]], Pepa immediately identifies Ratón's ruana as actually belonging to Bruno, this being how [[InternalReveal Mirabel finds out that her friend was her long-lost uncle the entire time]].
--> '''Pepa''': [[WhamLine What are you doing with Bruno's ruana?]]
