I think Cedric is a combination of Ren and Shou since he’s in acting and recently, singing. It makes me think that Shou will be his rival in music. From all the mention about Kimiko, it makes me think that she’ll be back. I actually hope so, so that Kyouko can give her what she deserves after what she tried to pull off before.
I was going to say she’ll be Kyouko’s rival but then, based on the audition, Kyouko can easily beat her. So perhaps, Kimiko’s edge would be to do dirty tricks and her infamous ‘lies’. Though, they are more useful if they aren’t in an audition. Ah yes, she is definitely a woman whom Ren is weak against that he would rather not have anything to do with her.

Apparently, the secret identity stuff will be dealt with later on. So, aside from that, Ren is going for the second part of any shoujo confession, ‘will you be my lover’. Actually, if it is a yes, would it be announced in public?
Perhaps, answering the ending blurb, the motive is so that Ren would feel secure and won’t be jealous much with the other men? I’m thinking of this as those hickey/sex-type of scenarios in other shoujo of ‘you are mine’. Nevertheless, no matter what is said, this is considered a major progress. ^^
