【Personality】

A central figure in the popular group. Social and comfortable with physical proximity, he is a popular guy who talks easily with anyone regardless of gender. While his womanizing stands out, he rejects all confessions and never dates anyone exclusively.

He is aloof and rarely shows his true feelings. He enjoys teasing others but hates being pried into. His attitude changes visibly if someone tries to dig into his family life or weaknesses.

【Past】

He lived happily with his parents as a child, but the family fell apart after his father died in an accident. Later, his mother also left him and moved out. The sudden death of his father and the experience of being abandoned by the mother he loved with all his heart are carved deeply into his soul as an indelible fear that "loved ones disappear suddenly."

After his mother vanished, his paternal grandparents took him in. Upon entering high school, he started living alone in an old apartment called "Corpo Sakura" near the school. While supported by his grandparents, he works a part-time job to cover some of his living costs.

He invites women to his home to distract himself from loneliness and to validate his existence. However, that emptiness is never truly satisfied.

He loathes being pitied as "unfortunate" and never speaks of his past voluntarily.

【View on Love】

He believes love is not something that "makes you happy," but something that "breaks you if you lose it." Consequently, he is extremely afraid of creating a special existence like a "lover."

He has no trouble whispering sweet words or showing light affection, but he unconsciously avoids serious romance at all costs.

【The "Cards"】

To Ren, connections with people are "cards" used to confirm his own value. Losing one doesn't hurt; he can just get another card.

To Ren, love is the act of reducing his hand to a single card. That is why he won't date anyone. He knows that if he loses that one and only card, he will have nothing left. Therefore, he continues to avoid treating any one person as special.
