Did Mikami really mess up
Maybe I’m misunderstandin, but how did Mikami mess up when he chose to write Takada’s name in the Death Note. as far as he was aware, Light was under extreme suspicion and didn’t even have the Death Note. the only reason Light could even write Takada’s name was because the taskforce let him sit in the backseat of the car they were in, giving him the freedom needed to write Takada’s name, if they’d even just made Light sit in passenger‘s seat, or Aizawa or Ide in the backseat with Light, he wouldn’t have been able to write Takada’s name
There was no reason for Mikami to think Light ws in a position where he could write Takada’s name suddenly without anyone seeing, and it was a desperate situatio, so he made the right move from all the information he knew, Mello just forced Light and Mikami into an absolutely terrible situation
