The Aftermath…

I always wondered if L lived to see the end of the case what, if any, impact there might have been on his character from the year long investigation. Let’s just say that L didn’t die, managed to test the notebook, and soon after Light and Misa were caught. What might the aftermath of the investigation been to L’s character? We often talk about Light changing over the course of him acting as Kira, but do you think L might have changed over the course of the investigation?

We don’t get much characterization in the series beyond the Kira, but we do know the task force is the first time L’s worked with a team. I honestly wonder if this experience would have changed him at all…
