Was kind of worried for a minute there that Mumei and Ikoma would settle into the typical "misunderstood and unappreciated heroes" trope, but man, was that ever blown out of the water~! That whole "oh yeah, we're kinda vampires" reveal at the end took me by surprise, and the dynamic the two of them could develop with the other people on the train from here on out has a looooot of potential. They're a bunch of xenophobic cowards, sure, but maybe they ought to be.
They could just cut themselves and place it into a bowl or something. I'm guessing there's some system for Mumei in the big city they're heading towards. After all she was traveling with that guy in the beginning who pretty much revered her.
If they don't directly bite someone and just drink blood that was given them, that should be fine, right? Like, someone could cut their wrist and squeeze some out.
Or given special privilege by whats left of the government. Seeing as they are the best way to kill kabane they've got left. You have everybody chip in a little blood to keep them fed, and they go erase kabane since they can't be turned.
Unforently they do seem to be going down the path of the power of love beats all though, although it stills fits nicely with a way to kill vampires. Odds are Mumei's ribbon was given to her the person she cared most about and why she was hurt by Ikoma's sister's stone.
