He listens to her recall what the Echo gave her back, and while he doesn't personally remember such a thing happening from his perspective, it sounds pretty consistent with what might have.
"If she didn't like L very much, then I have a hard time seeing it as a love triangle..." he murmurs. "Maybe something changed later to improve her opinion of him. Backing up for a second... you said his name was Light, and that gave me back the knowledge that he was Light Yagami, as well as my prime suspect in the Kira investigation. You already know as much based on what the doppelganger told you... and you maintain that you wouldn't fall in love with a mass murderer, which... well. You mentioned calling me a pervert, which I can't really be sure of, but that was your Other's opinion, and I won't argue it."
Still with us so far...
"So... then we talked a little bit about... things that happened in the past in our lives and you kissed me, and it's like you said, there was something there. I got a memory back from it, and in it... Light and I had come to see you and we were handcuffed together. There was a lot of information, so let me try to put it in order..."
He pauses, closing his eyes briefly.
"So Misa was sitting on the couch and reading that magazine. She was happy to see Light, saying something about a date, but she seemed annoyed that L was present. He made a point of rushing forward towards her and asking if she loved Light from the bottom of her heart. He got very close to her and she had an apparent aversion to his presence, leaning away and insisting that she did love Light. He then challenged that claim by asking if she also worshiped Kira, which she... also confirmed. So it seems like whether or not Light was Kira, she felt strongly and positively about both of them, but when L asked her who she'd pick if she had to, she insisted it would be Light, even though she was 'grateful' to Kira. My guess is he killed someone she wanted dead."
He pinches the bridge of his nose.
"There is more but before I continue, are you still OK? What are your thoughts?"
