I'm still clinging to KH, and I'm still pretty new over there, but ... yeah. DN it is, at least for the time being. I have never learned this thing called restraint.
Light is absolutely sociopathic, down to a T, but he is also very cautious. I kind of think that despite his giant ego, he regards L/Ryuuzaki as a worthy opponent at least at some level, because he managed to keep him on his toes whereas (especially by the time this story is occurring right after L's death) he looks at everyone else after him with utter contempt. What he regrets, I suppose I'm trying to say, is that he's killed off the person making life interesting for him.
Besides, maybe L had mechanisms and schemes in place for the chance that he died. Which he kind of did. xD
And yeah; it's in 13, but apparently L was lying through his teeth. It kind of makes me sad, but it makes things interesting for the who-is-manipulating-who-more game. L gets written off as defeated by his feelings, but I don't think it was quite that way at all.
(Oh, you didn't? You're right, though, that was a painful thing to see. I'm interested to work on Near a bit more, because I have super special plot bunnies brewing for him. >.>)
