[Ren had spent most of last month hiding in his apartment because of the scare with the time loop, plus he was still trying to cope with losing his boyfriend so soon. He got better once Christmas came, but still took it easy.

Because of this, and a time surge, Ren's hair had now grown to be quite long, being kept in a ponytail for now as well. He should get it cut sometime.

Luckily for Ren, he didn't any personas that used bufu equipped today so he didn't feel the effects of the flowers. He does notice Kaeya and... are those tears? He thinks for a moment to see if he should bother him when he's clearly upset but figures the worst would happen is Kaeya telling him to fuck off.

He walks over by pretending to look at the flowers before then taking out a cloth and offers it to Kaeya. Trying to play it cool so not to embarrass him furthur.]

Here. It wouldn't be good if your eyes got frozen out here.

[He doesn't know Kaeya has ice powers.]
