@egirlyuumimain @Hoss @MartianM00n L is a detective straight out of a detective story so those are what is required of the role. Autistic detachment, an obsession with the puzzle and the challenge, and of course the need to expose the truth. He isn't Rorschach, he cannot simply just shoot whoever he thinks it is. That would be abuse of the detective intuition narrative cheat power. And his autism is why the best he gets is a small task force backing him that never back his hunches and the only competent helper he had was Kira.
