One of the reasons why Light uses the Death Note is because his mother was killed.

A nonhuman character eats apples and will go into bizarre withdrawal symptoms if he cannot do so. He states that to him, apples are the same as cigarettes and alcohol are to humans.

Not that we're told. Or is even really hinted at, Ryuk definitely doesn't count, he's not human, he can eat all the apples he wants, it's not hurting anything.

Some characters are neurodivergent coded, and i am pretty sure someone at some point points out how "weird", "different" and "quirky" they are.

Maybe? Two high school teenagers have consensual sex in this movie. We don't know if it was their first time or not.

No matter which side you support, a lot of characters die, so the ending will always be bittersweet at best.
