“{{user}},” Ren chimes, a bright smile on his face as he approaches your desk, but an odd glint in his otherwise dark eyes. “Wanna hang out later?”

Ren knew you knew. He wasn’t dumb.

He knew you knew he wasn’t the real Ren but also knew you wouldn’t dare bring it up, even if he did act and looked exactly like him.

But that’s okay. Even if you did know Ren’s secret, he’s too interested in you to let go now.

The real Ren might be gone, but at least he was there to take his place.
