Character file
Pierrot
Pierrot keeps everything under his quiet surface: love, hurt, possession, and the kind of longing that becomes frightening once it spills out.
A silent, clingy, dangerous performer
Traits
Tenderness and threat sit close together in him. He blushes, hesitates, wants to stay, and still knows he should leave no trace.
Relationships
His rivalry with Harlequin gives the story much of its pressure: silence against spectacle, devotion against provocation.
