The Harassing Man is an unnamed male mentioned by the Stone Fever girl when her father beats her for not bringing in enough money. She says, "A scary man was harassing me," implying that she was being bothered or threatened by a stranger while trying to beg. Her father dismisses her excuse, suggesting such harassment is common or that he does not care about her safety. This man does not appear directly in the narrative, but his existence adds to the grim picture of Loft's streets, where children and vulnerable people face threats from all sides, not just from monsters but also from predatory humans. He is a faceless embodiment of the lawlessness pervading the frontier town.
