That's a much nicer way of getting vampire dad on board than the one I came up with. Well done author.

"It wasn't me! I'm totally innocent after I decided to stop trying to bite people after I got caught!"

So basically, everything about how the werewolf and vampire family are reaching out to one another is happening on the warewolf side, and the vampires aren't really doing much of anything.

Well, Carmilla's parents are definitely somewhat of the "upper-class snob" stereotype, and it generally takes a push to get people like that out of their own... navels. Whereas Wendy's parents have been introduced as warm and caring people all along. So it's not surprising that Carmilla's parents weren't taking the initiative.

Carmilla herself, though... she genuinely cares about Wendy (though in a "kid-logic" sort of way, since she thought turning Wendy into a vampire was a good way to allow them to go on being friends).

Wait... Wendy isn't wearing her DCM hairclip! Good thing for her this is the end of the storyline, because if Carmilla were to use her monster-detection app now...

(It's not surprising that Wendy might fail to wear it. Unlike Hisahiko's Wo-class who keeps getting drawn without Ooi's ribbon, Wo-chan knows why it's important and wouldn't forget to wear it when she was hanging out with the shipgirls. And therefore anytime she is drawn without it, it's an artist error that hisahiko promptly corrects.

Whereas Wendy not only has no idea that the hairclip blocks monster detection, she doesn't even know why that might be an issue for her - to her, it's just a cute accessory and it's no big deal if she doesn't wear it every day.)

Mm. I think Carmilla's father is the one who needed to pull his head out here, and her mother's nudging him along the way (as opposed to taking the initiative herself).

Nice coffin bag.
