Just to clear a misunderstanding, we never got to see Ren in the future chapters. Yes, they talked about a Ren, but the Ren they were talking about was Satsuki's brother, Takumi and Hachi's other child. He was named after Ren. I don't know for certain if he's Hachi's child though. Might be Reira's? or maybe even Shins? I think he looked pretty much like Shin. I don't know, haha... but oh well, back to topic... I kinda expected this to happen after reading those future shots because they talked about Ren as if he was dead, so I wasn't surprised. Well, I was actually, just a little. I was surprised at the fact that it happened so soon, right on Nana's 21st birthday.

No, Ren's definitely Takumi and Hachi's son. At first, it was made out to be Layla's child. But Layla called him "the/that boy" and Takumi later on talked about Nana possibly taking Ren away from him (from the looks of it, Takumi has Ren's custody, and Hachiko Satsuki's).
Ai Yazawa, I admire her for these recent amazing plot twists. Lulling us into a false sense of comfort knowing Ren's okay when it was meant for Hachi's son anyway. But really, there was enough foreshadowing in it if you think back. DX
Someone please refute this and show us a manga page of Ren alive in the future. ;__; Though that was just Shin. X_X

But this is too much. Weaving us a silk cocoon and then suddenly forcing us out when it's still wet. ;__;
