[That's honest, and almost definitely true. It's also the most difficult thing to hear yet, the idea that anything emotional could be any kind of issue for the detective. The dim fury that always smolders beneath where everything else is buried and banished burns him at times like this, because so many things just aren't fair, and pain without an outlet is such a bitch.
He's nearly at the limit of what he can handle today from another sentient being, through no real fault of Connor's. Just as L's frustration and anger have no outlet, they have no real target, either. He can't possibly hold this against the android, as much as he wants to retreat and hide himself away from the world.]
It's my... sincere hope that you enjoy the mirror.
