There seem to be two main ways ghouls get food.

One is having a territory and hunting humans like a predator. This method is not particularly morally acceptable since there are other methods, but sheer scarcity does explain it from a survival standpoint. Ghouls using this method are going to feel outside of human society, they will see ghouls and humans as distinctly different creatures.

Another is being a scavenger of bodies. This is the most morally acceptable method for getting food. Ghouls that get food this way are free to feel communality with humans without undue guilt. The only remaining barrier between ghouls and humans is the fear of discovery

I've been thinking that there is a middle ground method for hunting for food. The vigilante method. Ghouls might set themselves up as bait for criminal humans, then eat who attacks them. It is not really morally right to plan to kill someone regardless. However, the way such a ghoul could interact with the humans in their lives would be different. The ghoul could view themselves as a protector of humans. I wonder if Touka used this style of hunting when she still hunted.
