That is only partially true however. Aro is not to be discredited here. An internal struggle for dominance between two halves, yet one can't live without the others. Besides, this young girl he met just slightly shanged his view. Despite being nearly killed (for real in a fake world) she wasn't like the others. She never wanted revenge on the ones who made her wrong, she didn't curse on anyone in her last breath. Never did she used the Creator's gift, one's own freedom of choice (To do whatever you wish for yourself, be it good or evil, right or wrong basically) to help her 'goals'... No she was happy to find her friend was strong enough to survive that world, she even recorded him a message to let him know her thoughts. She did not opress those weaker for her pleasures or to gain an upper hand in that harsh world, despite her great fear of death. He used his powers to 'scan' those about to die and once he 'saw' her thoughts and desires, fears and hopes he instinctivelly saved her. The part about her father abandoning her when she was very young sruck him like the Ire of the Creator himself.

(Can you guess who am I talking about?) Even the other Watchers were surprised about him  considering her as 'daughter'. Ging out of his own way to keep her or anyone safe was 'till then a completely alien thing to him.

Arael can be beaten, but power or strength are not the way to do it.

Maybe I'm overthinking it, but I want for Aro since he is still the other half to have a real possibility to be erased by the Creator, otherwise it would feel like authorial fiat he was spared. And If it plays against, so be it.
