With the way you write Mello's perspective more than Near, I bet on 1890$ that you are a variation of his female version.

#for the record i am constantly projecting onto mello so you're not wrong!#however i prommy i have committed no murders and am not in organized crime :-)#i'll also say that i don't really choose POV based on that though#i pick based on whose perspective i think is more compelling for a given idea#which is usually me asking myself:#a) whose knowledge of the situation is less complete?#b) whose trajectory over the course of the story is more dynamic?#c) what specifically am i aiming to do with this story?#mello's knowledge is often less complete#and his trajectory can be very compelling to write bc i usually have him start out in some level of denial#in addition some stories are better from mello POV bc he simply does more that's interesting to write about#for example. in “i want to hold you (hostage)” mello travels from LA to NYC.#during that time we can only presume that near is just like. inside. working. probably being less nuts.#hopefully this doesn't end up sounding defensive bc i genuinely found this very amusing dhfhfhfh i just like talking abt#writing & storytelling decisions#asks
