In episode 6 of 2wei (not sure where that is in the manga), Irisviel returns
to Fuyuki and meets Kuro. She delivers exposition to Miyu, Kuro, and Illya in
the Edelfelt mansion's unreasonably large bath. In particular, she informs
them that the Holy Grail War is nevermore to be; Kuro does not take this news
well, and starts venting mana (or something).

Anyway, despite Illya's (ahem) _mana transfers_ , Kuro seems to be fading away
due to a lack of mana... until she has an emotional moment and admits to
herself that she wants to live.

What is the mechanistic explanation here for why Kuro didn't continue to
deplete her mana supplies until she vanished altogether?

Why did Kuro not burn out completely during the bath sequence with Irisviel?


Apparently, the fact that Kuro can continue to exist in the world is a miracle
created by her own "wish" stated at that same part:

“I want family. I want friends. I want to live a normal, everyday life.
But…more than that…more than anything…I don’t want to disappear! I just…I want
to live!”

This happens because she is the grail, so she basically granted her own wish
as a holy grail, which allowed her to continue living.

Now, this only means Kuro's "wish" stabilized her corporeal form. She still
uses the Archer card like the Servants use the class vessels the Holy Grail
initially prepares. She doesn't have a mana source and she isn't human,
either. She is a miracle that is still allowed to remain in the world.

This is comparable to at least two cases from the original VN: Saber in UBW
Good End, and Rider in HF True end. They all still need the mana to stay, same
as Kuro.
