Friendship/Conflict of Cigarettes and Ren

The conflict between Ren and Cigarettes is even more violent than the conflict between Ren and Gil. Ren teases Cigarettes much of the time because he was born in Brooklyn, New York. In "The Malevolent Ren," he insults Cigarettes by saying, "If you were human, you would be a negro." But he is proven wrong in "Oh The Humanity!" when Cigarettes's human self is Caucasian. Ren is forced to eat his own words as Cigarettes goes up to him, says, "Do I look negro to you, Ren?" and gives him the middle finger. Ren hardly shows that he cares about Cigarettes.
