More great Kyoko-Ren-Sho drama! As I have said before, I love it when Sho goes Kyoko-crazy and does stuff like stalk her at school, kidnap her, and go crazy when her phone is turned off. It serves him right, after the way he treated Kyoko when she was in love with him.
Interestingly, it seems that Kyoko is at least partially aware of her feelings for Ren. It's pretty obvious when Kyoko says she'll never let herself fall for Ren because she knows if she does, she'll fall deeper in love than she ever was with Sho, and it would ruin her. She seems convinced that Ren could never love her, so her falling for him would only hurt her future goals, and her mental well-being. Of course, she doesn't know what we do: that Ren really loves her, too.
In this volume we see more of Ren's internal struggle again Kuon, the vicious, savage person he used to be, the one that seems to be rising to the surface more and more frequently. I love how he put the kibosh on Kijima pursuing Kyoko just by hinting that he liked her. I'll admit, though, the whole last scene, where Ren flips out and blows his character of Cain when Kyoko gets a late-night phone call from Sho, confuses me a bit. Clearly Kuon has been hovering near the surface of his psyche for days, his feelings for Kyoko and jealousy over Sho have pushed his ability to control himself off a cliff, so that he explodes with a crazy, dangerous rage. But what does it all mean? Where is it leading? Is this what Kyoko is hear to lead him out of? Kyoko is understandably freaked out, and the only way she can think to respond is to act like Setsuka would to her brother, and do something she could never do in real life to Ren: throw him on his back and sit on top of him. So, what's going to happen next? Hopefully Ren will be able to start working through his issues. And explaining them a bit!
