i love L's death dont get me wrong, but god would it have been amazing if light killed him with his own hands the ways he says that one time. just imagine it.
you are L, you know light yagami is kira, you dont know how(or maybe you do, its not important to the scenario) he does it but somehow he induces heart attacks in his victims, seemingly by just wishing it upon them. you know that it is only a matter of time until he learns your name, or maybe he already knows it and is drawing out the game longer just to mess with you. you know your death will be a heart attack, not the most peaceful way to go, but better than others.
but then, he lunges at you, you are on the cold ground of the task force hq. his hands wrap around your throat and squeeze. there is a violence in his eyes that you have always known was there, even though you never saw it. he hid it well, after all, light yagami is exceptionally well at wearing a person suit. so well it seems, that you yourself were fooled. you knew what he was underneath but you didn't think he'd ever show it. you claw at the hands that refused to bloody themselves, but what god's hands aren't bloody.
anyways,,, i have death note brain rot(always), i just think it would be very good thematically, cuz light distances himself from the killings by using the death note instead of his own hands, so him actually using his hands to kill his enemy would have been really fun(and hot)(who said that), and i feel like it adds some fun dynamic to his and L's relationship. especially near the end of L's life where he clearly is expecting to die so he would be expecting a heart attack just like the rest of kira's victims, but instead he gets to witness the malice hes always seen inside this teen boy?? i just think itd be neat
