... This just kept getting better and better. If Mello knew more than Mikami and Mikami was his main source of information for what happened in his future, Light was, to put it delicately, in a very, very undesirable situation right now. He could try to fill in the gaps himself with what Mikami told him, but that would take time and effort that would have been more well spent on trying to get out of this place and, if at all possible, killing L and the others in the process.
When the number of "others" there were seemed to be growing by the second, though, Light was running out of ideas on how to get rid of them all. Mello, Near, the man with the striped shirt-- with how little he knew of their roles, he couldn't safely decide which one of them had the highest priority, and even then, the chances of eliminating the most important without somehow alerting the others were rapidly shrinking. How could he do this?
But at least he had a name and a face, and with that much, he was able to piece together two very important pieces of information. Firstly, L had been in contact with him. This might not have actually been true, but after seeing L and Mello in the showers next to each other, it would be safer to assume that it was and react accordingly. Secondly, if that incident in the Sun Room was anything to go by, Matsuda knew about Mello and had plenty of reason hate him. He could use that to his advantage later, but more importantly, what Mikami didn't know could potentially be something that Matsuda did. Light hated relying on the most foolhardy member of the team for anything, but if his assumptions proved to be true, he had no choice.
The main problem, therefore, was this Near and the man with brown hair. Light could possibly keep an eye on both Mello and L to see if anyone matching either meager description came into contact with them, but with how many white and brown haired individuals at the institute there were, there was no guarantee that this would bear any fruit. That Mello's accomplice was dead would narrow his search down considerably, but it wouldn't get him a name. Damn it!
Hearing that Mikami had lost the Eyes was also disappointing, but after hearing the same from Misa, it was hardly a surprise. It was also altogether too convenient, but thinking about his personal vendetta against the doctor that had forced the trade on him and what this could imply would be anything but productive right now.
"Are there any other enemies I've amassed that I should be aware of?" he asked dryly. "And on that subject, what does my future self plan to do about them? What has he done about them in the past? Anything significant that occurred within the five years that separate us that you're aware of would be appreciated." Assuming he hadn't covered everything he knew already when they'd spoken in the chapel, that is.
