Thank you as well.

Yup. Definitely remembers now.

For anyone that is confused:

Idea was that unlike the other vampires that were undead, fed off blood, and slowly withered; this one found a way to feed directly on life spans and inturn gained a life span of its own (and because it has a life span that means it must be living, and not undead).

At some point it had become so efficient at feeding off the life span of humanity as a whole that the process became second nature to it, like breathing. Since it didn't have to focus on manually doing so for so long it just sorta kinda forgot it was a vampire since it's not really doing anything different from a normal person at this point.

The lady practically forced it to have to manually heal itself or die (which killed her in the process), in turn causing it to remember:

"Oh yeah, riiiight, I'm not just some random immortal guy, I'm an immortal monster that took everything from them and am still currently feeding off of them as we speak. Mmm, yeah and this family got pretty darn close to killing me some centuries ago, I should probably go deal with that family while they're still rusty from not fighting me in so long. But gotta be careful not to draw too much attention, humans have some pretty crazy tech now, don't want myself to go too public."

Honestly, with the way the vampire was acting, thinking that it was a mostly human immortal, that family could have found a way to negotiate with him before attacking. Like, he can still take life energy, just way less of it, considering how many people there are in the world now.
