[Mello fucked up. He fucked up bad, with this whole demon possession nonsense. Come to think of it, this is probably the single worst mistake he's ever made, because not only did he put himself in danger (an acceptable risk, in his opinion), but he also put Near in danger, too, and that's not acceptable, by his standards. This is different than Near possibly being compromised by proxy with Mello's actions - he (the demon, but in his body, with his hands) caused Near actual physical harm, and that's something Mello is having a lot more trouble accepting than most of the other questionable things the demon did.
He doesn't immediately return to the house. The impulse to run far away from his mistakes is a strong one. But there isn't anywhere to run, really, not in a place this small. He tried that once, before Bianca caught up with him.
When Mello does finally talk himself into making the trek to the house, he knocks first on the front door, and then sends Near a short message right after.]
