What's interesting in Death Note, is that very few of the main characters do not have good intentions. You actually have to go into the periphery cast to find characters who are 100% unrepentant. Ryuk stands out as unrepentant throughout, of course. This is a good look at the way the different characters do have good intentions, even if the roads don't lead them to good places.
I really like how you write Light and Matsuda's relationship. Because of what the readers know about Light, he's being pretty manipulative. But, to Matsuda, he's pretty warm, but kind of unnerving for different reasons, entirely.
Misa's first kill is also pretty interesting. Because not a lot of people think about how using the death note, itself, would affect her. But she obviously, at a point, picked it up and started using it and things must have gone through her head, some amount of rationalisation. Especially since Kira, at that point, was just a concept to her.
