No. [The answer is simple; Ren spares no pain or sentimentality for it. This is a truth that's remained constant for the entirety of his life, after all, regardless of what transpired here.]
He was cut down before I was born, at the height of his glory. [When the galaxy knew fear and order in the same breath, the thought punctuated by a bittersweet pang of emotion.] By my uncle.
[And were it anyone else, being fated to die would soften the blow in Ren's eyes, (superficial to pick apart years as if they were currency) but Vader was more. So much more. Faint visions of gleaming armor— black as night— an iron fist, gripping the universe with enough force to overshadow hope itself flicker between them. The foundation from which Kylo Ren was brought to life.]
He would have changed everything, had he lived.
[This world, their brood— even Rogers himself, for better or worse. All that he needed was time.]
[ Glory. That shadow passes over him and his eyes close for a few seconds, swallowed by the portrait of the future - past - present, Ren's universe as seen through one filter. He swallows, gently forcing back the oppressive imagery. ]
Why? What changed him?
[ The Jedi, as Anakin briefly explained, were protectors - and in no uncertain terms had the man expressed his hatred for Ren's order. ]
