In the Saena Arc, Kyoko encounters her mother and panics as she remembers how cruel her mother was. Saena admitted on live television that she doesn’t have a child and has never felt any maternal instincts in her life. Upon hearing this, Kyoko fled from her room at the restaurant and cried. When she saw Ren standing before her, she fell into his arms cried her heart out. Even though she admits her love for Ren, she keeps this between Lory and herself, as she is afraid of Ren's rejection.
