Because usually when that happens they actually write the character out of the show for a bit. Or did Yuuya Takahashi decide there was just no room for a clown like that in his serious, grim story that has never, ever, in its entire run, once been afraid to completely undermine its own tone with goofy nonsense (case in point: immediately cutting from Chronus' brutal killing of Lovelica to Hiiro's dad being happy for half a second and then cutting right back), because that doesn't add up at all. It all just strikes me as very odd.

Last time we saw him was episode 26, when the Ministry ordered the Riders to stay put and Hiiro was trying to decide what to do. This isn't the first time he just disappears from the show for a handful of episodes, though it may be his longest absence. All the same, Ren had also been gone since episode 27, so I guess the older actors may just have more on their plates.
