Delirium has almost hit 3000 comments. I feel like posting this now instead of waiting for 58 more.

It's time for the Relationship Meme!

Comment here to ask what Delirium thinks of your characters. You can also ask about Bandou Mitsuru, Yukimi, Dancy, and Belphegor, though Bel has only broken 100. >_>

Near is veeeeeeery sane and operates on far more logic than can hold her attention. She probably feels compelled to talk to him for two main reasons: a) Delirium is tempting him/testing the strength of his ties to sanity, just slight nudges and pokes in the form of conversation and such, and b) he has ties to people that belong to her, namely Light and Mello. Both men are clearly hers, Mello moreso than Light unless we're talking like.... final chapters Light when he snaps during Near's confrontation with him. Mello has his obsession with WINNING AGAINST NEAR that veers totally out of control, and Light has his newfound preoccupation with covering his tracks and not letting L's successors one-up him (and failing at that repeatedly), and of course, his desire for a new world order completely becoming skewed as he becomes power-hungry. It's through those two that Del sees this bright young mind that operates on highly functional logic and loves to solve puzzles. Some Near RPers I've seen have portrayed Near as mildly autistic; I don't know if that's the case for your version of him, but whether or not it is, Near is definitely lacking in social interaction and related functionality. It's a deficit that I believe would... quite possibly have an impact on his sanity if Del's temptations ended up being too strong for him to resist. One of the big things that gets used to rank sanity levels and severity of mental illness is functionality in society, after all. As it is, he's pretty dependent on the aid of those around him, but sane.
