So let’s go through this one-by-one, shall we?

Red Guy

Flat affect in voice, not very expressive 

Or from the perspective of other Red Guy, he is far too expressive and tend to smile at inappropriate situations

Express emotions either ‘too little’ or ‘too much’ in terms of volume, very little in-between

Speaks very bluntly 

Feels physically uncomfortable with bright colors

"Well, this isn't that fun, is it? can't make out where I am in the room like this. What if I'm standing in an embarrassing area?" "I actually don't mind it. Kind of a nice break from all of those... garish colors"

Duck

Loves cataloging and organizing things as a recreational activity

Anthropomorphise inanimate objects (like ACTUALLY inanimate, not teachers)

"You have to jab it hard or it won't respect your choices!"

Has a hard time fitting in in ‘normative’ social groups

Odd sensory sensitivities

"You're supposed to say that the floor is too loud or the window is disrespecting you"

Yellow Guy

Relies on a heavy amount of social mimicry in unfamiliar social situations

"I'm making bits and parts, although sometimes I feel a bit like the bits and parts are, eh, making me."

Tends to understand metaphors and turns of phrases very literally

Which is actually a trait that he displays even in his hyper-intelligent ‘Charged’ mode

"Oh there he is, it's about time." "Yeah, what have you been doing?" "Um, okay, let me see... We were learning about electricity... I completed a crossword puzzle..."

Who is also very sensitive to sounds when two or more people are speaking at once

He also seems to have ‘clumsy’ motor functions in both ‘forms’

In conclusion:

‘Death’ really is one of the coolest episodes for Character Analysis of Yellow Guy and Red Guy. Both because it has them dealing with the uniquely difficult emotion of Grief and because it has them in the rare position of actually being kinda-authority-figures themselves to someone else - Stain Edwards. 

Because Yellow, usually the friendliest and kindest of the three, is so mean to Stain! But this meanness IS born from his usual friendliness, he’s lashing out at Stain as a result of his grief over his lost friend and the idea that he can be ‘replaced’. 

And meanwhile, Red clearly also misses Duck. If nothing else it’s clear from what he did to Stain there at the end. 

But he’s also the one trying the most to move on as quickly as possible, to try and deny he misses Duck.

"it's not that bad, we didn't really like him anyways. Remember how he used to bite you?"

And I think more than anything that probably comes from his conflict-aversion. Like, his resistance to the Teacher’s lessons and to addressing the fact that he misses Duck both come from that aspect of his character highlighted in ‘Jobs’ - he would much rather Not Do Stuff most of the time. And actually confronting his own emotions feels like kind of a lot of effort, doesn’t it?

So from his POV, ‘just moving on cause we didn’t like him anyway’ is just the easiest solution for both himself and Yellow Guy to deal with the problem. But the fact that Yellow Guy can’t see Red Guy openly share the same sort of grief that he does just makes him feel more isolated and thus has a harder time dealing with his own grief. 

And Red is kinder, or at least more polite to Stain Edwards then Yellow is but I think that is driven less from his kindness as much as it's also come, at least partly, from his desire to Not Cause a Fuss. And he can also kinda lash out at him with his Unresolved Grief, he’s just more subtle about it.

"Well, you seem like a little... thing with.... and you don't even... and that other guy at least had his own clothes."

And since he’s so driven in this episode to Take the Path of Least Resistance with his grief, he naturally discovers that the ‘easiest’ way to deal with Death, the ‘easiest’ way to move on is…

To deny it ever happened in the first place.
