it's so lame that L and near (allegedly) never met but if that's the case near's life has been so thoroughly constructed to revolve around L as a title, a trade, a northern star, a mythology, a roadmap, a beginning, an end, the shape within which near has to fit himself into and the shoes he has to fill and the backseat driver he can never turn around to gaze at, all encompassing and yet unknowable, that, even having always had his own strong sense of personhood shining through in his questionings and defiances of L's methods, it's hard to believe that he would ever see L as fully just some guy. that's the entire foundation of a kid's perception of the world you know. that's father, that's mother. that's what gods and monsters under the bed are made out of. he can be his devil or his angle. depends

the best death note joke format will forever be L asking light a simple question in which logical answer A might increase the likelihood of light being kira and logical answer B similarly might increase the likelihood of light being kira and after a short internal struggle light comes up with answer Y, which no human being has ever thought of as being a normal response in all of living history
