Such a clever chapter!
For those complaining about ' no progress':
.check out Ren's wrist, he's lost the watch.
.also, think back to how Kyoko acted out Kuon and compare it with Ren in this chapter.
She was spot on!
So there's huge progression here. Ren is trying her out, testing her, showing her his true self (Kuon) to see how she reacts to it.
. finally, someone on mech's site noticed this:
He asks her to draw an horizontal 8 on the food with the ketchup. this is the infinity symbol, which is somehow his name meaning: Kuon. By him eating the food so eagerly and asking her to eat it too (and drawing the symbol) is like he's asking her and himself to accept his real self.
Nakamura-sensei already hinted at that here:
