Polina Morozova

Polina Morozova — is one of the main characters of the visual novel «Tiny Bunny». She is a student in class 6 «C», and is Anton's classmate, as well as the only girl in the village playing the violin.
== Physical Appearance==
In Dmitry Mordas' story, Polina is not properly described, but it is mentioned that she wears a green sweater with a giraffe embroidered on it.
In the novel, Polina is a slim and beautiful twelve-year-old girl. Her hair is long, black and straight, and her eyes are a deep blue. She is described to have a cheerful, affectionate personality and a friendly smile. Polina is distinguished by her sophisticated, exquisite gestures, and smells nice of blackberries.
At school, she usually wears a white shirt with a black vest, a blue tie, a black skirt, shoes with straps and stud earrings. Outdoors, Polina wears a coat with a belt and six rows of buttons, black boots with a fur edge, mittens on her hands and a hat with a pompom on her head. She is often seen carrying a violin in a black case.
==Character and personality==
Polina, a 12-year-old classmate of Anton, possesses a remarkable talent and passion for the violin. Motivated by her late mother, who was also a skilled violinist, Polina has dedicated herself to mastering the instrument. She aspires to follow in her mother's footsteps, carrying on the musical legacy that was left behind.
Currently, Polina lives with her paralyzed grandfather, who was tragically attacked by a pack of wild dogs. Taking on a role of caretaker, Polina attends to her grandfather's needs with compassion and devotion. Despite the challenges she faces, her determination and love for her family inspire her to provide the best care possible.
In her free time, Polina indulges in her extensive collection of video tapes, encompassing a wide range of genres. Among them, she possesses numerous horror movies that pique her interest. However, her collection is not limited to just horror; she also enjoys watching Sailor Moon, captivated by the enchanting tales of friendship and adventure.
Polina's cherished companion is her beloved yet quite aggressive cat named Johanna. Despite Johanna's temperamental nature, Polina loves her fiercely and has formed a strong bond with her. Polina patiently nurtures their relationship and understands Johanna's unique personality, finding joy in their moments of affection and play.
Moreover, Polina possesses a unique ability to sense the presence of impending danger within the village. However, she struggles with whom to confide in or how to express what she perceives in the darkness outside her windows. This mysterious intuition adds an intriguing layer to her character and the story.
Deep within her heart, Polina harbors a secret dream. She yearns for a future where she can escape the confines of the village and venture into a bustling town filled with music and enchanting sounds. In her imagination, she envisions herself surrounded by talented musicians, getting lost in the harmonies and melodies that bring joy to her soul. The thought of this vibrant world outside the village fills her with hope and inspiration, fueling her determination to pursue her musical aspirations and create a life filled with beautiful sounds. She is currently in love with Anton, her classmate.
==Story==
From her official description, it is revealed that Polina’s late mother was a violinist, prompting her to become a musician. Her grandfather, in order for her to realize her dream, enrolled his granddaughter as the only music student in the village to a music tutor — her school teacher. One day, her Grandpa was attacked by rabies-infected dogs, crippling him to the point that his legs were paralyzed. Since then, Polina had a strong dislike for all the dogs in the village. In further episodes, if the player chooses certain options, Anton learns that the girl’s parents died many years ago when she was very young, and her grandfather raised her as his own daughter.
===Episode II: Time To play===
On January 7, when school lessons began, Polina became interested in her new classmate Anton Petrov, but did not dare to talk to him. Only after the lessons, when he was humiliated in front of the other children by Semyon Baburin, did she approach Anton and expressed sympathy/praised him for his bravery when he stood up to Semyon. (depends on choice). After getting to know her new acquaintance, Polina tells him that she was afraid to go home alone, and asks Anton to take her through the forest (also depends on choice), after which she went to her music lessons.
If the player chose to follow Polina instead of Alisa, Anton will wait for her to finish her music lessons. When they exited the school gates, Zhulka runs up to them. Polina has a very negative reaction towards the stray, but still involuntarily sacrificed her sandwich to feed it. As it turned out during a walk around the village, Polina hates dogs because of an unfortunate event with her grandfather which made him disabled. Distracting herself from bad thoughts, the girl told Anton a legend about a rhyme she heard when they passed by some kids playing. According to this legend, as Polina explained, a young man; whom his tribe sent to the forest for three days as a rite of initiation into manhood, only returned when they stopped searching for him, and was cold, dirty and covered in scratches. While in this state, he said a rather strange nursery rhyme, which he apparently heard in the woods while after the convulsions. The shaman of the tribe that was trying to help the young man said that the young man was already dead when he returned, and was just a corpse that whispered the rhyme with dead lips. After that incident, the tribe moved from the taiga to the south.
Having changed the subject, the children start to talk about the outside world, and tell each other about their dreams. It turns out that Polina dreams of leaving the town and visiting world capitals, especially Vienne, «the capital of music», as the girl calls it. Anton’s stories of visiting Moscow in his childhood brought her indescribable excitement and curiosity, and she comments that she would definitely go there one day as well. The children continue the conversation; later stopping in their tracks to make a snowman. After making the snowman, Anton walked back into the forest to collect sticks to decorate it, but during his search, Polina pointed out to him that someone was behind him. This someone turned out to be Semyon Baburin, who brought his cronies along with him: Roma Pyatifanov and Igor «Byasha».
When the hooligans started to bully Anton, Polina tried to stop them, but they made it clear that they would not harm her. Mocking the heroine's new friend, Semyon kicks their snowman, while Roma, calling out to Zhulka; who happened to follow the two from the school yard, kicks her with his foot.
Polina reacts to the abuse of the dog with a jubilant and sadistic smile, but when Anton sees it, the girl realizes what she had done and her smile immediately disappears.
She tried once again to convince the bullies to leave them alone, even calling Roma «Romochka», knowing that he had feelings for her, and asked the gang to let them go, but without any luck — the delinquent only responded saying that that was the way it should be, and they would protect her instead. The taunting escalates to the point where the bullies rummage through Anton's backpack, and then force him to put on a rabbit they found in it, leaving Anton with a choice: to oblige, or fight back.
<tabber> 
Option: Tell to fuck off=
Anton does not want to humiliate himself in front of Polina and tells Semyon, word for word, to «fuck off»; and afterwards he kicks him, and in response, Semyon takes his glasses and punches the boy in the face, and Roma backs Semyon up by landing a punch to Anton's jaw. Polina tried to stand up for him again, but the boys grabbed her by the arms and walked her out of the forest to her home. Roma stays back to beat Anton for his friendship with Polina, kicking him in the forehead so hard that he lost consciousness, after which he leaves, following his buddies.
Later, it turns out that Polina, who was worried for Anton, after she was released by hooligans, met his father and told him that his son was in the forest and he needed help. When he finds the boy and takes him home, Anton confessed to him that he had a fight with the bullies because of the girl. The father praised his son for his courage, adding, «fighting for the girl you like is right.»
At the end of the episode, Anton has a dream in which Katya humiliates him in front of his classmates, telling everyone the secrets of his family, and about the bunny mask that he carries around, implying he is insane, and that he is a serial killer. Only Polina looks at him sympathetically and does not want to believe Smirnova's words. But she tells the girl that Anton has «probably never even been to Moscow», and that in case of trouble, he will not be able to protect either her, and will run away like a coward to protect his own skin/that he cheated on her with a girl that doesn't go to their school; Alisa. (if the player chooses Alisa over Polina). Polina, unable to stand it, began to cry hysterically and fell to the floor, as if someone had hit her in the stomach. Katya doesn't let Anton try to comfort the girl and she continue to insult him infront of the everyone, while Polina kept sobbing and screaming until Anton wakes up. The dream definitely indicates that Anton is chronically afraid to disappoint Polina and lose her.

Option: Put on mask=
Polina watches with sympathy and disappointment as Anton humiliates himself in front of his classmates, and then tries to stand up for him again, but the boys ignore her and ruthlessly assault the boy with consecutive, harsh kicks.

(latter only occurs if the player chooses Alisa's option). Polina, unable to stand it, began to cry hysterically and fell to the floor, as if someone had hit her in the stomach. Katya doesn't let Anton try to comfort the girl and she continue to insult him infront of the everyone, while Polina kept sobbing and screaming until Anton wakes up. The dream definitely indicates that Anton is chronically afraid to disappoint Polina and lose her.

===Episode III: On The End, The Wolf's Gray Fur Will Stand===
Depending on how the previous episode went, Polina's attitude towards Anton will change. But in any of the options, a week after Semyon's disappearance, the girl gives the main character a note smelling of blackberries, in which she asks him to come to a dead end at the locker room. Anton comes to her, after which a conversation begins between them.
<tabber>
Route: On good terms with the hooligans=
Bumping into Polina, a conversation starts between the two, and at the beginning of their little chat, Polina comments that Anton looks like «blue's improv» and adds that Anton, according to her, is very thoughtful and mysterious, sometimes even a bit sad and unpredictable. The heroine admits that she likes to associate people with different types of music. When Katya passes by them, Polina compares her to the «squeak of unoiled door hinges», which Katya did not hear and passed by. Suddenly remembering the notebook he was clutching in his hand, which Polina dropped when Anton accidentally ran into her. It turns out to be a notebook for questionnaires that she wanted the boy wanted to fill out. Anton agrees in a joking and flirtatious form, after which Polina asks Anton not to tell anyone about the contents of the notebook. In class, Anton fills out her questionnaire, and in the last question, «who is your best friend?» Petrov writes «you» in response.
Later in the evening, Polina calls Anton on the phone and spoke sweetly to him, admitting that it was very sad staying in the village, but she can't leave because she doesn't want to leave her grandfather, and her only salvation from boredom is the violin. Anton agrees with the girl, drawing various drawings during the conversation, including a portrait of Polina. Anton recalls Roma's plans to win the girl's heart by playing a play with Anton as the villain. The main character gave in and told Polina about the plan of his buddies (depends on player's choice). The girl at first did not believe the boy, but then thanked him for having the courage to warn her about it, and that she was happy that Anton was on her side. Before the end of the conversation, Polina says that her grandfather always tells her that the wounded soul can be healed with music, and invited Anton to visit her after school, offering to listen to her playing the violin. Anton happily agrees.
|-| 
Route: On bad terms with the hooligans=
Bumping into Polina, she begins the conversation with the question of whether Anton was offended when she smiled at the sight of Romka kicking poor Zhulka. She excuses her action, saying she «felt like she wasn't herself», and explains that she just couldn't help her reaction after the event with her grandfather, who was almost gnawed by mongrels; the incident completely clouded her thought of action. The girl explains that sometimes she can't control herself in such situations, but reassured that she would never hurt anyone, «not like that sadist, Romka», who she asks Anton to stay away from as far as possible. Anton brings up that during the fight, Polina refers to Roma as «Romochka», and asks if the two are dating.
The girl gasps in response, and is quick to deny it. She says that Roma is madly in love with her, even comparing him to a leech that is stuck to her, but these feelings are not mutual, and explains that it is useless to explain to him, as he does not accept even the rudest of refusals. Morozova again apologizes about the fight with the hooligans, going on to say that «it was her mistake to think that bastards like them can have any sort of moral code.» Suddenly, Polina says that she has a gift for Anton, and, unbuttoning the top button on her shirt, takes out an a thick leather thread with an amulet in form of a claw of an unknown beast. She says that her grandfather had gifted the charm to her, and that it would help against the crazy and possessed. Polina explains that he had gotten it from a certain shaman, and the tragedy befell him happened only on the day that he forgot to wear it. Afterwards Polina asks to accept her gift along with her apology.
===Option: Take===
Anton accepts the gift, and then offers Polina to start the relationship from scratch. Polina is very happy about it.
===Option: Refuse===
Anton says that it is better that the amulet stays with the girl, as it is her family relic, and that he would feel much more relieved knowing that it would protect her, and the heroine says in response that she thought «chivalry was only exclusive to books», until she met him. Anton still accepts her apology even without the gift.
Further dialogue is not much different from that in the other option. Changing the topic, Polina comments that Anton looks like «blue's improv» and adds that Anton, according to her, is very thoughtful and mysterious, sometimes even a bit sad and unpredictable. The heroine admits that she likes to associate people with different types of music. When Katya passes by them, Polina compares her to the «squeak of unoiled door hinges», which Katya did not hear and passed by. Suddenly remembering the notebook he was clutching in his hand, which Polina dropped when Anton accidentally ran into her. It turns out to be a notebook for questionnaires that she wanted the boy wanted to fill out. Anton agrees in a joking and flirtatious form, after which Polina asks Anton not to tell anyone about the contents of the notebook. In class, Anton fills out her questionnaire, and in the last question, «who is your best friend?» Petrov writes «you» in response.
Later in the evening, Polina calls Anton on the phone and spoke sweetly to him, admitting that it was very sad staying in the village, but she can't leave because she doesn't want to leave her grandfather, and her only salvation from boredom is the violin. Anton agrees with the girl, drawing various drawings during the conversation, including a portrait of Polina. Their chat is interrupted by Olya, who asks Anton to read her a bedtime story since their mother had fallen asleep. The two exchange their goodbyes, and end the call on a good note.
|-|
Route: Solitude=
In this route, the conversation is similar to that of the first route with good terms with the hooligans, and Polina also gives Anton a questionnaire, but when filling the last question out, Anton listed Olya as his best friend.
In the evening, Morozova calls Anton and tells him that she is on his side and that she feels very sorry for the boy. Polina hopes out loud that he’ll one day be able to fight back and maybe even find a girlfriend. Their chat is interrupted by Olya, who asks Anton to read her a bedtime story since their mother had fallen asleep. After Olya left, Polina tells Anton that Roma was at her window with flowers, and she thinks out loud whether or not to give him a chance. The last phrase makes Anton so angry that he disfigures Polina’s portrait. Their conversation ends, and Anton, mentally calling the girl a «slut», goes upstairs to read Olya her bedtime story.
</tabber>
===Episode IV: Stomp Your Hooves In Wait===
Regardless of what happened in the previous episode, Polina approaches Anton during another break to discuss Katya's disappearance with him. The girl admits that she finds it difficult to pity her, although she understands that it's just monstrous to not show sympathy towards her case. She adds that her questionnaire went missing, and that now someone could read the secrets in the book. She also admitted in shame that she felt worse when she had lost her questionnaire more than when Katya had gone missing.
<tabber>
Route: Alisa=
Towards the end of their conversation, Polina notes that Anton's melody was different; now a mysterious, ancient tune. She asks Anton to go for a walk after school, since now that her grandfather was feeling better, she could stay back a little longer. Anton agrees, and Roma approaches him, asking him if he was talking to her, and in response, Anton lies, telling him that Polina had asked him where Roma would be after school, and added that he also told her that he would be waiting for her in the backyard.
After school, Petrov and Pyatifanov wait for Morozova in the backyard, preparing to act out their play for her. When the girl shows up from around the corner, Anton, putting on a rabbit mask, starts to play his role as a «maniac», threatening to approach her, and then grabbing her hand. Then Roma appears from behind the bushes, trying to play the role of the «hero», but frankly, he is unsuccessful. However, Polina quickly understands what is happening, and calling out on Romka's tomfoolery, she hits Anton with a violin case right in the face. The «gory-maniac» immediately comes to himself, and the girl suddenly realizes who was hiding behind the mask, which angers her immensely. Morozova expresses her disappointment towards the two boys, calling the two of them «clowns», then quickly leaves.
Anton, seeing how a depressing failure has affected his friend, runs after Polina, and tries to justify Roma and his plan. Still annoyed, Polina confesses that she thought Anton liked her, to which Anton responds that he does, but Roma was a special case. Polina retorts in frustration, calling Romka a «special case of a liar», to which Anton asks the girl to give his friend a second chance to prove himself and escort her home, because he loves her more than anyone and swore to protect her, and suggests that she may change her mind about him once she got to know him on a different level. The girl is not particularly happy with his excuses and requests, but after thinking, she softens up, and asks Anton to tell Roma that she is waiting for him near the school gates. With this news, Anton, mentally stating that now he has no one left but Alisa, goes to Roma, and he, very pleaed with the turn of events, goes to see Polina off.
|-| 
Route: Polina=
Towards the end of their conversation, Polina notes that Anton's melody was different; now a mysterious, ancient tune. Anton, recalling his last meeting with Roma, decides to tell Polina that he has eyes for her. The girl tells him that she was already aware of that fact, but says she does not care for Pyatifanov, and she is glad that she has Anton. Then she asks Anton to go for a walk after school, since now that her grandfather was feeling better, she could stay back a little longer. Anton happily agrees, despite knowing that in doing so is basically suicide.
After school, Anton meets Polina outside standing at the school steps. As they begin to leave the school, the girl says that she dreams of the cacophony of the bustle of the big city, because her grandfather taught her «to look for a melody in everything». Anton comments that her grandfather sounds cool, and Polina agrees, further saying that she would soon introduce Anton to him. Anton was surprised by this, and asked her if she was implying that she wanted him to visit. Polina did not deny his claim, but before Anton could response, suddenly a whistle echoed from across the yard. From around the corner, the figures of Roma and Byasha appeared. Approaching the couple, they began to accuse Anton of allegedly leading Katya into the forest and killed her, and was now trying to do the same with Polina. Anton tried to justify himself, but the hooligans parried his answers and had already prepared to beat the boy. Polina decides to protect Anton, and wedges into the argument. Pointing out that Roma also could've been the killer, and that Katya didn't particularly like anyone, and spread gossip about almost everyone, including Romka and Byasha. Morozova begins to put pressure on hooligans, saying that they also disappeared somewhere yesterday, and that maybe it was them who killed Katya. Polina brings up the rumours Katya had spread about Roma; about his father's jail time and how he hits him all the time. Then, turning to Byasha, the girl asks where he was yesterday evening, quoting Katya's words that he had «a few screws loose ever since he encountered the Black Garage», and accusing him of being the psychopath that kidnapped Katya. This was enough for Igor to instantly lose all his enthusiasm and hurry to retreat. Polina continues, and presses Roma on, stating that if he was trying to be a hero, then he was doing a poor job in doing so, and added that heroes did not act like this. Shocked by her outburst, Roma tries to say something about Anton, but Morozova is ahead of him with the statement that in her opinion, this «four-eyes» is better than Pyatifanov in every way, and afterwards she takes Anton by the hand, finally leaving the delinquent stunned. Turning their backs to Roma, Anton and Polina leave with their arms linked together.
During the walk, Polina is glad that Anton was brave and stayed with her, as well as admires how he had the courage to talk back and even hit Semyon. The boy replies with that for Polina, he is ready to do a lot, and that pleases Polina. While the two continued their talk, they reached Polina's house. Before entering, the girl says that she has always told him how good, caring and smart her grandfather is, but that was only half the truth, and that he has been acting in a rather «funny» behaviour recently. She further asks Anton to try to not be surprised by how he would act. When the two enter Polina's house, she asks Anton to wait in the hallway, while she cleans her room in the meantime. As soon as she leaves to her room, Khariton comes out from one of the doors and introduces himself, and begins to talk about the origins of their names, and other stories. As Anton listens to what Polina's grandfather has to say, she suddenly calls out to him, informing him that he could now enter her room, which he does.
Looking around, Anton notices pictures of Polina’s parents on the wall, to which she replies that they died many years ago and that she hardly remembers them. Anton apologizes for the awkward question, while Polina only smiles, saying that there is no need to dwell on the past and decides to introduce the boy to her cat named Johanna. A moment later, Anton accidentally touches the piano, the loud sound causes the cat to jump up in surprise and shred Polina's «Sailor Moon» poster up into pieces. She gets a little upset about it, but brushes it off, reassuring Anton that it was alright, saying that «there's nothing that can't be fixed with electric tape.» After successfully taping up a torn up Sailor Saturn, the two think of something else to do. Anton asks Polina to play something on her violin for him, and the girl agrees, even though she was a bit under the weather. After bringing out her violin from its case, she jokes that her violin was created by the violin artisan Guarneri, and is worth a huge sum of money. Dreaming that such a violin was hers, Polina performs «Fa diez minor» for Anton.
Admiring her performance, Anton applauded, but he failed to notice Johanna under his feet, and accidentally stepped on her tail. The cat hissed in return, after which Anton was painfully bit his right leg. Polina drove her pet out in a flash, and gave him a sympathetic hug, then went looking for cotton and iodine in her room. To the boy’s horror and embarrassment, Morozova demanded that he remove his pants to treat the wound. Anton refused, but Polina sprung into action, trying to remove the boy's pants herself. Anton tried to resist, but at some point they both fell on the couch. Polina landed on top of Anton, who was half-naked and extremely flustered by the situation. She stared at him for a while, and told Anton that she was waiting for someone like him, and even complimented him; telling him he was handsome. Anton then tells her that he enjoys her company, and Polina returns the feeling, and was glad that she finally met someone who understood her. The two inched closer and closer before they finally envelop themselves in a hug, their lips against eachothers in a sweet kiss.
For a while, the two forget about everything else around them, enjoying their kiss. However, Anton suddenly notices Khariton watching them through the open door. When the old man's glare meets Anton's gaze, he withdraws, and Anton removes Polina from him and puts on his pants, and told her he had promised his mother that he would return before dinner. Polina, confused and frustrated, asks him to stay, but then suddenly begins to cry hysterically. Drowning in tears, Polina fell onto the bed, and punches the couch, begging Anton to run away with her to the city. Without understanding what the problem was, the boy tries to calm her down, but her sobs only intensify, and she tells Anton how much she can’t bear to live in the village anymore, that she was going mad; and if she continues to stay, she would kill herself. Unable to handle her further, Anton asks Polina to calm down one last time, and then hurriedly leaves her room.
</tabber>
====Option: Take candy====
Polina appears at the end of the episode if previously, Anton, regardless of previous choices, agrees to take the candy from the forest animals. Anton falls into a dream, or hallucination where he sees the «perfect life» of his dreams. On the way to school he meets a joyful Polina, who hugs him and tells him amazing news: her grandfather suddenly regained the ability to walk, despite the local doctor's previous statements that he would never be able to walk again, and Roma and Byasha disappeared from the village, so Anton never had to be afraid of being with Polina anymore. Smiling and laughing, she takes the boy’s hand and they walk towards the school. Despite Anton’s embarrassment, the girl refuses to let him go, even when they enter the class. Instead of her usual place, Polina sits next to Anton, and Anton, in a fit of inspiration, begins to draw her portrait. During this process, Polina suddenly begins to unzip her shirt and, blushing, rolls her eyes back and bites her lip in bliss. While continuing to draw, Anton offers the girl to become the heroine of his comic book, and the latter in return, almost screams from how long she has waited for these words. But at that moment, the led of Anton’s pencil breaks, and he is horrified to see that instead of the portrait he has drawn, it was just a distorted picture of some sort of formless mess. As he looks up from the drawing, he realizes that he was sitting in an empty classroom, and the «perfect day» of Anton's dreams turns into his worst nightmare.
After the end of the episode, torn and dirty newspapers appear on the screen, revealing the disappearance of Roma, Polina and Igor. At this point, it is unknown if they are really missing or whether they are a part of Anton’s dreams/hallucinations.
==Relationships==
===Anton Petrov===
Polina, regardless of the player’s choices, is kind and even flirts with the main character, at some point comparing Tosha to «blue's improv», and if he revolts against Semyon, she will be interested in him and ask her to escort her home. If Anton agrees, the girl will have friendly chats on various topics on the way, and show her sympathy for the boy, commenting that he has a creative personality, and that the two of them will have a good future together. In the fight with the hooligans, she tries to protect Anton, even begging Roma (who, according to her, never fights infront of her) to let them go, to no avail. When Anton is beaten unconscious, Polina will head for his home and find his father and will tell him about the fight, which indicates that Anton is dear to her.
In the third episode, she apologizes to Anton for the fight (as she believed that the hooligans would not attack them, assuming they still had some sort of «moral code») and for smiling when the dog was abused. After that, she offers Anton to take a very important amulet for her as a gift (depends on the player's choices) to protect the boy from his enemies. This indicates that Polina is very fond Anton, and doesn't want him to think badly of her.
The couple's feelings for each other will only grow stronger, and in episode four, Polina will stand up for Anton, verbally destroying the bullies who came into conflict with him and took Anton's hand before their eyes, showing his importance to her. In the same episode, she invites him to visit, and they admit that they love eachother and kiss, and during this route, she says he is the most important person to her in the world, and calls him the only person who truly understands her.
In the route with good terms with the hooligans, Anton always has his mind on Polina, until he eventually has to choose between the girl he is in love with and the delinquent he considers a buddy. This choice is expressed in a dilemma: tell Polina about Romka’s plan to romance her or keep silent. If he chooses Polina, the girl will be glad that he was not afraid to tell her about Pyatifanov’s plan and that Anton is on her side, and then she invite him to her house, where he later confesses his feelings. If Anton agreed to play his role and wear the bunny mask in front of her, it will irritate the girl, but she confesses that in her heard, she really liked Anton and was very disappointed in him for stooping to Roma's level. Even if Anton is friends with the bullies, Polina will still like him, and prefers him over Roma.
However, if Anton fails to confront the bullies (depends on the player's choices), Polina will only feel sorry for him, and not be romantically interested in him, although she still considers him as her friend. In this case, she will only cheer the main character up, but constantly points out that he needs to fight back the bullies, and during the phone call, she rather mockingly, says that she would maybe give Roma a chance to be with her, which enrages Anton immensely. Anton is no more than a friend to her in this route.
===Roma Pyatifanov===
Roma is in love with Polina, but it is unclear whether these feelings are mutual. In her first conversation with Anton, she mentions that despite Roma's violent nature, he would never attack others in front her. And in the second episode, if Anton escorts Polina home, during the fight he will hear how she affectionately calls Roma «Romochka», as she asks the bullies to stop and let them go (although most likely she might just be trying to save Anton). On the other hand, with the right selection of choices, in the third episode the girl will openly say that she is not interested in Roma, but feels like it would be useless to explain to him - since he is stuck to her like a leech and does not accept her refusals. Later, Polina will confirm her words by directly telling Roma that Anton is better than him in every way, and takes Anton’s hand in front of him.
However, if Anton fails to get close to Polina, the game will hint that she develops feelings for Roma. In the Solitude route, she and Anton have an unpleasant phone call, in which she mentions to Anton that Romka had showed up at her window with flowers in hand and asked her to go out with him, and rather mockingly thinks out loud about how maybe she should give him a chance.
Polina will only let Romka escort her home if Anton asks her to do so after he and Roma put on a performance for Polina (this dependant on player's choices). Her actions can be explained by the fact that Polina understands how Anton stops liking her, evident by how he actually rejects the girl with his requests, which after she decides to try to know Roma better.
=== Katya Smirnova===
Polina considers Katya a very unpleasant person, comparing her to the nasty «squeak of unoiled door hinges» and tells Anton that it is because of people like Smirnova that they have to hide to just talk. When Katya goes missing, Polina, although ashamed of it, confesses that it is hard for her to feel sorry for Katya because of her actions. Moreover, it seems to her that she is more concerned about the loss of her questionnaire than about the loss of Katya.
===Khariton===
Little is known about the relationship between Polina and her grandfather, but it seems he is the closest person to her, since he is listed as her «best friend» in her answers in the questionnaire, and also only because the only reason Polina does not want to leave the village is because she doesn't want to leave her grandfather. She mentions this during a conversation with Anton on the phone.
In the next episode, if Anton becomes close with Polina, and visits her house, she will tell Anton that she had only told him about the good qualities about her grandfather, and he has a completely different side - according to her, Khariton has recently acted in a rather strange way. For this reason, she asks the boy not to be surprised by the old man's behavior. Moreover, when Anton says he was leaving, Polina became hysterical, during which the girl begged him to take her with him. All this may indicate that in fact the relationship between Khariton and his granddaughter is far from wholesome as it seems, and may be hiding a darker side to it.

* Polina sees the shadows of the animals and is afraid of them, but she doesn't dare to tell anyone about it in fear of being considered crazy.
** In the story, Polina does not have that fear, but shortly after getting to know Anton, she tells him that she also saw an owl at her window.
* Polina doesn't like dogs, and sometimes even afraid of them because of the incident concerning her grandfather. However, in the original story, she, on the contrary, loved dogs very much and fed some mongrels.
* Unlike the novel, Polina's father is alive in the story, but almost nothing is known about his biography. Polina mentions that he works very hard to feed her and himself, and even often stays on the night shift, although sometimes he works at home at night. What exactly he does is unknown.
** Polina's fate is not revealed in the story, although it is implied that she and her father were killed by animals.
** In the novel, the role of Polina's father is replaced by Khariton; her grandfather.
** It is mentioned in the story that Polina's mother died two years before the events described, whereas in the novel, Khariton says that her mother died when she was very young.
