Death Note is so funny, actually, because the entire first half is just L going, “So, I think you’re a serial killer. It just seems likely.” And then Light goes, “Would you still say that if I did – THIS?” *performs a bunch of social cues that make himself seem trustworthy* And L, who is incredibly autistic and only has to interface with as much of this as he feels like analyzing manually, is like “…Are you done?” And Light’s like, “What? I mean, I guess.” And L goes, “Great. As I was saying –” Meanwhile everybody fucking else is in the background going, “NOW HANG ON, MAYBE WE SHOULD HEAR LIGHT OUT.”
