Light and L had one thing in common: their pride. It was said to be the worst of the Seven Deadly sins.
This entire building, this entire investigation, operated around L's pride. It was part of the reason Light had been kept prisoner. Still, L refused to take into account that he might be wrong about him being Kira.
Proud bastard. Proud bastard that ate only desserts and wore the same clothes everyday as a spoiled five-year old child would.
Light hated that about L. He also loved that about L. But, all things had their season.
When Light regained his memories and did what needed to be done; he was the one that triumphant over L's dead carcass taking pride in a task well completed.
Pride always went before a fall.
