Something I think a lot of people overlook about v!Abolish is that he didn’t fly under the radar by passively being non-threatening. No, he actively acted to appear uninformed and unremarkable.
Despite knowing full well that vampires exist, he asked questions to Avid about what he knew and thought. This way, he wouldn’t appear suspiciously quiet or casual. (This probably also served to help him understand how experienced Avid actually was)
Before the existence of vampires was confirmed to the town, he never stated a belief one way or the other. All his comments basically boiled down to “it’s possible idk.” This might still have made Legs or Apo or others think he was crazy for not being firmly against their existence, but by sharing that his parents were killed by something seemingly nonhuman, he basically prevented anyone from questioning him further without seeming insensitive. Because he never took a side, he never stood out because he was no one’s adversary.
Despite clocking the vampires immediately, he never confronted them. Aside from likely wanting to avoid the work, this kept him off everyone’s radar. The vampires had no reason to consider him an enemy, and the humans had no reason to consider him a lunatic.
This man perfectly walked the line between appearing suspiciously calm and suspiciously paranoid to appear completely unremarkable.
