"Maybe I am overthinking it but the way you wrote your comment, you seemed to imply killing Ren would be the equivalent to Monty dying by suicide."

Maybe not being nEnglish my native language I don't explain myself well.

I said "methaforical suicide" not ACTUAL...

"Ren is currently a waste of space in the show."

As Jaune EVER was, we could say.

"He's useless in a fight,"

BETTER than Jaune in this, actually.

Took out a king Taijitu on day one by himself, remember?

PLUS, and I said it once already, OBVIOUS backstory hinted when they were going to appearantly their home village (of Nora and Ren) but had to abort mission and go save Vale instead - that's why there's almost 0 chance he'll die next episode, IMHO.
