Spoiler for anime ending:

She doesn't die in the anime, but IIRC she does go back to sleep.

But this is some kind of alternative story where she just keeps living in her old apartment like nothing happened and like she doesn't have an uncontrollable craving for blood anymore. Not sure if it's explained later on in the manga.

Storywise, Melty Blood just doesn't deliver the way Tsukihime did. But wasn't Melty Blood originally more of a fighting game and less of a visual novel? Maybe that explains why the story is so average.
