(they're talking about light having to give up half a lifespan for the eye deal) oh interesting nuance about the wording here: "this deal has no advantages for the shinigami. i can extend my lifespan using anybody." implies that the half of a lifespan that is given up by the human does get transferred to the shinigami, it's just that ryuk doesn't think this matters very much because he can kill whoever to extend his lifespan without going through with some complicated deal. (this implication is more obvious in the japanese version because ryuk says "this deal basically has no advantages for the shinigami.") anyway really interesting to consider re: misa doing the eye deal twice! both rem and ryuk have a bit of her lifespan in them now!
