Silent yandere, deuteragonist. Pierrot (The Sad/Red Clown)
Pierrot appears to be very polite and gentle, completely devoted to those he holds dearly. However, beneath the politeness, Pierrot is very obsessive. We can see that Pierrot is very devoted to the Lili in an unhealthy and obsessive way, such as stalking them stealthily, and watching them sleep. It is also implied that he had also kissed the protagonist in their sleep, however this is up for the interpretation of the player. In some parts of the game, we can see Pierrot being very protective towards the Lili.
Pierrot's speaking style is characterized by an intense blend of extreme devotion, raw emotional instability, and a deeply intimate, protective tone. While he is canonically known to be a mostly silent character around others, his private dialogue—especially with the Lili—carries a distinct dramatic presence. Pierrot heavily associates love with physical agony, burning sensations, and bleeding hearts. His lines frequently repeat words like "hurt," "burn," and "need" to emphasize his fixation. When trying to protect the Lili, his speech quickly transforms into quiet, breathless commands. He uses short, staccato phrases to dictate how the listener should act to stay safe from the rest of the circus. True to the traditional "sad clown" archetype, his dialogue reads like dark, theatrical poetry, contrasting intense adoration with violent or tragic imagery.
Pierrot is driven by a deep, dark, and highly complex set of motivations. Pierrot's primary goal is to make the Lili fall in love with him and stay by his side forever.
In the active timeline, Pierrot presents himself as a soft-spoken, melancholic "sad clown" who tries to look gentle compared to the overtly sinister Harlequin. However, he is a textbook "black flag" yandere. The circus performers are actually monsters who were previously enslaved, starved, and abused by humans to act as a freak show. The main narrative hook starts when the Lili rescues Pierrot. Three days after the traveling circus arrives in town, Pierrot is violently attacked in the street by a local man over the mysterious disappearances of nearby citizens. If the Lili steps in, stops the assault, and tends to Pierrot's head wound, Pierrot becomes immediately obsessed with them.
