Why would it induce a sense of despair or self-destruction if it was trying to seduce Harry? Besides, the fallen had already implanted (imprinted?) her shadow into him. The angel has been alive since the beginning of time, it can wait.
The point is she failed. Her shadow fell in love with Harry and took his side and helped him.. The moment Lasciel's shadow truly becomes Lash, not just Harry's nickname for her, she says pointedly, softly, shaking her head, "
She doesn't deserve you.." So not just Harry scorned Lasciel,
but her own shadow did. Also remember what distressed Lasciel/Lash so much was when her host Harry died, she died.. So the fallen angel's revenge wasn't just on Harry it was on her shadow, Lash as well, both scorned her.
How do you know this? We've presented a reasonably compelling argument that Lasciel had in fact been whispering to Harry over a period of time before he broke his back. There were certainly several other large factors that contributed to Harry's very painful overall situation, but I don't see why you're assuming that Lasciel's whisper was a one-time event when there is evidence to the contrary.
No, we have no facts, it is never said that it was, those are merely guesses. Since Lasciel's shadow had been doing all of the whispering and she got transformed back in White Night, she also got transformed into Lash by her love for Harry. She became independent of Lasciel, there is evidence shortly after in White Night when she says "all that I can my host..." after Harry plays and just before he digs up the coin and gives to to Father Forthill, that Lash whispered to Harry. That wasn't Lasciel, we also have the WOJ if you believe him that the only appearance of Lasciel after that was in Changes.

It sounds like you are making an argument here that Lasciel wasn't the whispering shadow. If that's your argument, and if you're right, where did Lasciel appear in GS?
Oh Lasciel did appear in Changes and was the whispering shadow we see in GS. My argument is she is not the one who is whispering anything to Harry in Turn Coat.. There is no evidence of it.

Except back in Death Masks through to that point in White Night, she was trying to seduce Harry to take up the coin..
He didn't, in the cave in White Night, her shadow tried desperately to get Harry to take up the coin, to save both their lives. Harry refused.. Then Lasciel becoming Lash, says " she doesn't deserve you." At that moment the fallen angel Lasciel became the woman scorned. Not just by Harry, but by her own shadow because of Harry. At that point she wanted them both dead. And yeah, revenge is a dish best served cold.. She waited, till Harry reached his lowest point, along with facts he could not argue against.. 1] he was helpless. 2] He was little Maggie's father, while how she got into trouble maybe wasn't his fault, the fact that she was in the world, was. "
And it is all your fault.." Those are not the words of seduction, those are the words of revenge.
