Was Light actually a friend to L? I know L said Light was his first friend but did he mean it? Yes we know L is a liar and knew Light was Kira the whole time but what if, during the time Light lost his memories, L thought of Light as a genuine friend. It’s all very confusing to me still so can someone answer?
I would say Yes.
L considered him as a friend because they had a lot of coherence as compared to the other characters even if he had a strong suspicion on Light being KIRA.
Also, to the &quot;What if part&quot; : he was never 100 % sure, but had a strong suspicion on Light.
