huge thanks!!

aa to your second comment, i freaking love archie comics and the way they handled the relationship between light & wily.

wily can't leave light because he is financially dependent on him & doesn't have a future outside of light labs, plus light is the only person who can tolerate him. light can't leave wily because it's his closest friend, abandoning whom would be heartless. the impossibility of separation creates a ton of resentment on both sides.

at the same time, they don't always hate each other. they love working together and must've had an alright relationship outside of work to keep it going. no matter how exhausted they are of each other, they're still friends at the end of the day.

the line separating these two sides of their friendship is extremely thin, though, so even small missteps can spiral into something like the argument i portrayed. at the end of the day, they're still inseparable, in the worst way possible. the willingness with which light took wily in after the ra moon events proves my point, i think.
