Would pierrot ever devour MC?

Random fact I learned about Pierrot not long ago

In a tfc AMA video, it was brought up once whether pierrot would ever consider eating, or be in a situation that would make him devour the MC

Pierrot rejects, declines, and persists that he would never, asking where MC got such the idea from!

In game, there was a route you could go down where Pierrot says a line that sounds something like this ‘don’t make me devour you my dear’

Well! Turns out be blurs feelings and senses. Sometimes he confuses himself and is torn between holding, claiming or devouring the MC

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but would it be a bold assumption to make that, since what triggers that scene is the fact that you refuse to come back to the circus to see pierrot the next day, that could be what triggers him to have the urge to eat MC? Rejection? What do you guys think?
