⇲ PM #1: ❈ Ren ❈

❈ Scorched Girl

Ren is often associated with the monkey (Saruhide) from Hell Screen due to his connection to Araya (the daughter) and due to their relatively similar deaths. The monkey jumped into the burning carriage where the daughter was.

Scorched Girl represents a strong longing for affection which inevitably leads to her and others burning down to charcoal. (or exploding)

❈ Fragment of the Universe

"Do not attempt to understand it, just use it." ✧ "An Abnormality that resembles a child's innocent doodles." ✧ "the Abnormality consists of matter that does not exist on Earth. It is notable for its metaphysical appearance that one cannot explain with words."

FotU describes an incomprehensible being that resembles "a child's innocent doodles". It produces "tentacles" and echoes from another world which give you brain damage. You are not capable of remembering their "song" after you recover from it. I guess this Abnormality could also fit Araya in some respect, but Ren is also...quite childish. Hence why I think that the 2 aforementioned Abnormalities could fit him.

Ren is forgotten in the current timeline by everyone but Dante. I won't get into the theory that Dante is from another world right now

❈ Blue Star

Call of the void. The wish to disappear. Feeling insignificant. Wanting to become a star on the vast sky. Returning to nothingness. Worship of something bigger than oneself, a force infinitely more powerful.

❈ The Knight of Despair

Failure to protect. Forgotten hero of the past. Not necessarily a perfect fit but it's an interesting perspective to me.

❈ Pagoda Veneration

A stone-like entity is stacking rocks. The stone tower could either serve as a burial site or the purpose of making a wish. The wishes must be made sincerely, and with a steady hand. We don't know much about Ren, but I think he fits both criteria. Half-hearted wishes get ya pancaked.
