A snappy dresser, Dio will give him that. They haven't actually spoken, but Dio has jumped to conclusions based on his complicated experiences with paternalistic/authoritarian figures, and his opinion is already in the negatives.
Dio hated Ren the instant he learned the man's age. Though a lecherous man who annoyed him with a smoking habit, Ren modified his behavior whenever Dio called him out. He was much less forceful in accusations at the trial. Dio was too busy being a dick to appreciate any of this.
In the kill or be killed game, Ren was one to just be killed. Dio had to acknowledge that Ren was putting it all aside to support their efforts at rebellion. He still never got attached to Ren, though.
☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠♡ Eventually Ren posted to the chatroom right when Dio experienced stress in his life, and Dio took it out on him. Ren reacted calmly enough that Dio tried to recruit him into his religion, which he finally let slip was a cult that ordered him to murder. Ren acknowledged point blank that Dio was an abuse survivor under duress no less than Goro and apologized for any earlier misgivings. Dio was not ready to cut off the cult then and there but he briskly forgave Ren.
The debt Dio owes Ren is rather large. He thought nobody but Helena and Seven would ever accept him anywhere in the world. When Dio left the cult and Seven could not accommodate him on his couch anymore, Dio crashed with Ren for several months.
