Lawrence's true nature is fundamentally inimitable, so any attempt at creating a doppelgänger would prove a superficial failure as easily defeated as anything else.

But if there somehow was two shards who merged with different people, a fight between them would be a complete stalemate where neither can ever hope to win, and all it would achieve is allowing both sides to learn everything about each other via temporary merging, leading to true understanding and mutual respect, thus bringing the conflict to an end and preventing new ones in the future.

Delightfully satisfying, isn't it ? ^ ^
