He finally gets a buggy when they make a call for single riders, and there he meets Volfa, who is an anthro wolf wearing a grandma costume similar to the wolf from Little Red Riding Hood. Anon thinks her anthro appearance is a costume, until she smiles. She makes a pun to anon on how their costumes are based on the same story, settling on calling him "Little Red". She takes a liking to him for most humans are too scared to hold a conversation. Although he is still rather scared, but he loosens up eventually.

After some cheery conversation, Volfa whisks him away to a monster party. Volfa goes on to show him a good time by partaking in Halloween activates where the macabre aesthetic is just as real as the participants. Though odd, Anon starts to have a blast with Volfa. They soon take a break to catch their breath, when a few trolls stumble upon them. They begin to question why she is with a male human. They say it's not right and only male monsters can be with female humans, not the other way around. Volfa gets mad and proceeds to insult and intimidate them. As she storms off in anger, Anon catches up with her to make sure she’s alright, and she communicates to Anon that she see's him more than just a human.

Anon woke up, after hours of driving, to the Halloween and monster themed town of Gulchgut.

Anon spotted Volfa at Gulchgut's Border station where they had an emotional reunion. Volfa then led Anon to the customs office to discuss Anon's entry into the town with a large talking three headed dog named Cerberus, who was not thrilled to see Volfa back “again". After a tense back and forth, Volfa announces that Anon is her "life-kin" and has medical papers that authorizes his visit. Cerberus showed immediate disdain for it, but reluctantly let it past customs. Due to Volfa being sexually pent up from being away from Anon, she spent little time showing him around and instead took him straight to her apartment.

Once in her apartment, Anon sees a framed picture of Cerberus and a human female that resembled Volfa. Volfa reveals them to be her parents, with her mom dying in childbirth. Volfa and Anon preceded to have sex, Volfa was slightly more aggressive due to her time away from him. The week starts to fly by for Anon, with every day filled with action, fun, and sex with Volfa. However, Anon starts to notice something off about Volfa. Every morning, Anon wakes up to see she is nowhere to be seen and when she does finally returns, she looks even more ragged and distraught than the previous time. As the week draws to the close, Volfa surprises Anon with by putting together a party full of activities and decorations to look nearly identical to the party on the night they first met. However, Anon was still worrying about her. Especially since she is missing her beloved choker, although she just brushes off as simply misplaced. As they both go through the activities, Volfa becomes more sporadic, drunk, and overall not having a good time. Anon puts his foot down and takes her back to her apartment. Volfa, being very drunk, tries desperately engage in sex with Anon as he brings her to bed. After a some time of Anon cuddling with her and forcefully keeping her in the bed, she breaks down and expresses how Anon is everything to her and she doesn't want him to leave tomorrow until she cries herself to sleep.

When morning comes, Anon goes investigating to see what she has been failing to do every morning that has left her so distraught. After some conversing with the locals, he arrives at a shop of a anthro cat witch doctor named Medafet, who reveals to Anon that Volfa has been coming here every morning to convince her in vain to give Volfa an item that will allow her and Anon to stay together. Volfa even gifted Medafet her beloved jeweled choker in an attempt to bribe her. She tells Anon that she has been waiting to see if he truly loves her, before she gives up the item to Volfa. She goes on to ask Anon if he would either choose Volfa to be happy or for them to be together, to which Anon plainly states both. Even after her insistence for him to choose, Anon persist that he chooses both and is willing to do whatever it takes. After a tense moment she finally reveals that is all she needed to hear and gives him the item, a small wooden box. Medafet reveals to Anon that she just wanted to know that he reciprocated Volfa's love. Medafet is very dear to Volfa for she was midwife to Volfa's Mother. Anon then rushes home, to find Volfa sulking over the letter he left. Thinking he only came back to say goodbye, it took Volfa a few seconds to realize that Anon had the item that she has been trying all week to get, and immediately becomes ecstatic.

She opens the box to reveal her choker that she tried to bribe Medafat with and, much to Anon's confusion, excitedly puts it on as if it was the item she trying to get the whole time. Looking at Volfa's reflection in the mirror, Anon suddenly realizes that Medafet had enchanted it, her reflection was that of a goofy wolf costume. Volfa reveals that she made a deal with her father that if she could find a way to disguise herself in the human world, she could go when ever she wanted. They then find two vials: one red, and one gold There’s ”His” and “Hers" written above each of them, which is hinted by Volfa to be potions to help them have children. They show each other their affections as they realized they made it work.
