GOOD QUESTION!

THERE ARE DOZENS OF REASONS BUT--

--I think the most obvious example is in day2 IF Harlequin bites your neck and IF you refuse Pierrot to cover the menace's bite with his own.

In most yandere stories/games, whenever MC refuses them they either IMMEDIATELY change their mind (and force MC to do what THEY want to do) or blame MC for not being compliant. They often will treat MC as a child in a grimm fairytale saying: "YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT'S BEST FOR YOU, BUT I DO!"

Pierrot however?

He blames HARLEQUIN, when you refuse him.

Not you.

That is already a HUGE difference from most yandere games, where WE are blamed for not meeting the YANDERE'S specific vision he has of us in his head. Instead of US being wrong, it must be someone else's influence. Pierrot often (but not always) sees our defiance as a learning opportunity to get to know us better, which, unlike most yanderes, implies he can GROW from his obsessive behavior.

Additionally, Pierrot is one of the ONLY yandere characters I've ever seen that when he says he won't hurt you---I ACTUALLY BELIEVE HIM.
