Fuck, this CE's description made me really emotional.

Following is a bit spoilery for Angra's character in Hollow Ataraxia, so I recommend reading it unless you want certain aspects of why Angra is such a likeable character ruined for you.

Angra Mainyu is such a fantastically written character, he's such a tragic soul yet his interactions and the growth he gave to Bazett was so touching. The name of the CE, Last Splinter, implies that he has something nearly lost, but remaining, and the description of the CE says it all. He was a necessary evil, a hate that burned, an ego that was destroyed, yet he had a last hope, from a Hortensia that loved him.

Obviously to those who've read HA, the Hortensia flower is a reference to Caren, and the background of the CE was where he was turned into Angra in life. This shows that even though he is an avenger of evil, he still has hope for happiness and love, he has a Last Splinter.

And that just drives me to tears.
