L is not “emotionless” as others claim, he does care about others, even if it’s not blatantly obvious. He’s not some emotionless machine like he presents himself. He cares about Watari and worries more about him than himself during his death. He warns the task force members about the shinigami despite knowing he’s probably next on the list. He doesn’t guilt trip Aizawa into staying in the task force despite the mission being beneficial with more members and takes care of the entire task force’s family financially. He does genuinely respect Light intellectually and he actually liked(?) amnesiac Light. (only Yotsuba arc, it’s canon that he dislikes Light). He warns Aizawa not to go to Sakura TV because he knows that it’s going to kill him. (He was visibly distressed in the manga, though it’s less obvious in the anime) He saves Matsuda 2 times during the case despite it being extra work for him. He’s selfless enough to put his own life at risk for the Kira Case and not complain about it. H

Light yagami’s clear depressive symptoms aren’t talked about enough in the fandom. He is definitely not “just slightly bored” he’s anhedonic and intellectually lonely, due to his intelligence and how he’s always expected to be perfect. (The perfect student, perfect brother, perfect son) He’s popular, yes but he as barely any real friends who he actually cares about. The only people that he does harbour some semblance of care about is his family. No mentally well person would become a mass murderer with a god complex just to feel any form of dopamine boost.
