[It's Valentine's Day so you'd probably expect Ren to do something overbearing and possibly very annoying. Or perhaps to tell everyone not to love each other just one day of the year, but to spread caring all the time - which boils down to the same thing.
Well, you may breathe a sigh of relief because as a matter of fact, the horned individual is nowhere around to be found at all.
Elsewhere - Ren was patiently waiting for a special someone to arrive. Recent events made it hard to have light hearted fun, but the two could meet so rarely. They might as well try to enjoy it to the fullest.]

Mark is here, and he stares in surprise.
"Ren? Is that you?"
From:
no subject
[Ren waves as soon as Mark is spotted.]
Who else could it be? So, what do you think?

"I think you look great! Isn't that what we bought earlier? The earrings?"
From:

[Looking happy, Ren glances at a publically visible clock. This is why the two decided to meet here in fact.]
Actually we're both here early, it seems. It'll be a while before the movie yet. What should we do?

"I know a place. Actually... I wanted us to go there after the movie, but there is still time so maybe we could..."

[Ren's hand reaches out toward's Mark's.]
What kind of place is it?

The two depart and look - the small cafe is actually there, positioned in quiet and mostly empty back alleys.
"Would you like anything?"
From:
no subject
[Ren sits down at one of the tables.]
If you don't mind Mark, I'd like to talk. Just a little. Is that okay?
From:
no subject
Mark sits down too.
"Is it about what happened recently? We were put at high alert. Nobody really knew anything, but everyone suspected something bad's up in the air. And all I could think of was 'Ren must be really worried right now. About everyone.'"

[Actually Ren is not sure how much info can they say here. Among other things. Ren is unsure about many things - but now is the time to end this.]
Also that, yes. There were a lot of occurences lately, and not all of them are happy. And then there was also that thing with myself, you know - we talked about it already.
It makes you really think. Think about mortality, how easy it is for a life to end. Everyone is unique, and beautiful in their own way - but they can die so quickly. And it's so different in my case, but that just means I may be left...
[Ren closes their eyes. Okay, here goes.]
I didn't really have any connections with others before.
I love everyone. On a personal, not a general level. But if I were to move away and not see a person ever again, I would not be saddened. I knew that I would get to meet other people, just as wonderful.
This has changed.
Mark, I... I don't want to lose you.

"Say no more. Just... there's no need to say anything else."

[That smile is still present, but Ren's voice has a worried tinge to it.]
From:

He takes a deep breath.
"Your way of thinking is so unique and wonderful Ren. There is no one else in the world like you and this is why... well."
"I am not like you, Ren. I cannot say that I love everyone and really mean it. But I can say this."
"Ren. I love you."

Mark...
Thank you. Thank you for saying this, so much.

Mark returns the hug, looking happy - but also shaking from nervousness.
"Could you... close your eyes?"
From:
no subject
[Does as said.]

"Good riddance..."
Time to get out of here, using an escape route already set well in advance...
