I always thought Near (and L, too) were just as twisted as Light, but working for the cause of 'good'. That was kind of the point, as I recall.

Oh, and the concept of the "greater good" is usually espoused by evil characters anyway.

Plus... Bern isn't a cold, rational pragmatic. She's a Bond villain.

Way to miss the point. Objective truth exists and pieces cannot do what they will not do.

Furthermore, witches know at least some objective truths, since they can create red freely. I'm certain Bern knew exactly what Natsuhi was and wasn't.
