A working-class laborer from Killingworth’s industrial slums, the Village Victim becomes an unwilling subject in the Rani’s grotesque temporal experiments. His neck bears the fresh crimson mark of her interference—a wound that signals possession rather than injury—while twisted machinery in the bathhouse leaves him weakened and struggling against restraints. Dressed in soiled laborer’s clothes, his futile attempts to free himself reveal exhausted desperation rather than defiance. The Rani views him not as a person but as a variable in her equations, while Josh’s reluctant assistance underscores the moral stain on her collaborators.
