===Before the events of the novel===
Judging by the words of Karina, who saw him in settlement and I found out, they had already met before, while still living in the city. Most likely, Hare Lip is part of an unnamed organized criminal group with which Anton's father had connections.
===Episode II: «Time to play»===
On his first day of school, before entering the school, Anton can meet and inspect a tall smoking man standing in the school yard. Anton suggests that the man does not look like a teacher, but may turn out to be a physical education teacher. Upon examination, Anton notices a split upper, «hare» lip. The man in response carefully examines Anton, but later turns his gaze to the road and leaves.
====Polina's brunch====
Deciding to wait for Polina after the end of lessons and accompany her home, Anton and his companion will go through the forest, talking on various topics along the way. After discussing the nursery rhyme and jokes about the future fate of Semyon, there will be a long pause in the conversation that cannot be missed. At this time, a Hare Lip can be seen in the background. The bully finished defecating behind the bushes, zipped up his fly and came out from behind the bushes. After examining Anton and Polina without interest, the man walked away. Polina is glad that she is walking through the forest accompanied by Anton, because the man she met could turn out to be a bandit, and laughingly shows his tongue at his back when the man goes deeper into the forest, hiding behind the trees.
====Alice's branch====
Deciding to spend time with Alice, Anton goes to the backyard of the school in search of the «hanged guy». After looking around the backyard, he notices Hare Lip standing in the shade with a cigarette in her mouth. Anton tries to talk to him, but he ignores him and leaves.

After Anton stumbles upon Semyon in the forest and manages to fight back during the scuffle, the hooligans will side with Anton and beat up Semyon.

During the walk, a long silence of the guys will follow, during which a Hare Lip can be seen in the background. A man was passing by them, and the company stops to let him pass. Up close, Anton manages to see and remember his face. The man gave the guys a businesslike but cold look, and then walked away. When he was already starting to move away, Byasha threw after him a teaser «No hump, but a harelip», which he no longer heard.
===Episode III: «Wolf hair on end»===
As soon as lieutenant Tikhonov finishes his lecture and is about to leave, Anton can respond to his last remark with a request to report all suspicious individuals.
