That would require altering the story.
Basically the Living Shadow is more in line with the sort of thing you saw in older Summoner quests, a humanoid egi or some such. The journal entry, only when read as a Dark Knight, includes some of "Fray"'s final commentary for you which has them note that your new trick is not them. It's not them because you've finally reached the end of coping with your grief and trauma, you don't need that alternate personality anymore so it simply will not continue to exist.
