1.
Ren recongizes the feeling he gets around Kyoko. It's a warm feeling, one filled with sunlight and dew drops, one that makes him light on his feet and his heart have wings. It's a feeling that he gets whenever she smiles at him, whenever she talks to him, even whenever she glares or apologizes to him.
She gets frightened of him and he thinks she's adorable.
She gets angry at him and he wonders what else has changed (and how he'd like to find out.)
She talks to him, trying so desperately to gain his trust, and he wants to tell her that she doesn't need to try so hard, that she already has his trust (and his heart and his soul and his--)
(He doesn't tell her, though, and just remains silent.)
The girl from his childhood gives him a mydraid of feelings, things he's ignored for years and tried his best to avoid. All at once, he discovers that blue and orange and pink exist in his world of grey.
He isn't sure if he should thank her for that, if he should voice how the world looks beautiful now that she's here and showing it to him as though it was his first time, like a blind man that could see.
He doesn't mention any of this at all, though.
These feelings were supressed for a reason and not even Kyoko could change that.
Instead, he just lets it wash onto him and then through, lets the feelings go past him until it is too late to acknowledge them. He's had to do this before and can do it again.
Ren is an expert at escaping the heart.

They are actors, trained especially to change. This is where their talent lies, where their hard work pays off, and they reveal in it.
They don't show it because that is also a part of their training. Until the part is successfully completed, the mask stays on and the feelings locked up.
They can easily slip into one identity after another, from a young man, to a heartbroken widow to a hardened general. Names mean nothing, for Akito could be a young school girl or a elderly grandmother. Yoshimori could be a brazen young man or a successful father.
What does matter, though, is the script. The script tells them that the clothes should be worn proactively or timidly. It tells them that the lady hates bananas and cars, or that the man is a flirt. It defines who they are next, who they will be for the hoursdaysmonths it takes for their scene to be finished.
Actors are successful because they can connect and become their character, they can define and shape their personality.
However, sometimes this effects their real lives too.
Breaking up? Tears can come forth easily like it is for Momoji.
Shatter a window? Bring Sakura's sad, guilty face and all is well.
Recieve a terrible gift? Laugh and smile like Tsukiko did.
Their real lives and their paper ones sometimes blurr and mix together, so deeply that it is hard to tell which is the lie and which is reality.
Sometimes it is too hard to break the two apart and tell the difference.
It's in their job.
Actors are most successful when they can adapt with a role and turn into someone else.
They are most prized if when the spotlight is off, they can turn back into themselves.
