Near's shopping list

This is a written request Near hands to Commander Rester, cataloguing a long stretch of playthings he wishes to acquire. Nearly every item he is seen using across the case turns up somewhere on it, and Ryuk gets hold of the paper while creeping through the SPK base.

The note reads as a procurement order, each line pairing one of Near's own item names with a guessed cost. His figures rest on average prices drawn from Los Angeles and Tokyo around 2009, splitting the haul between dollars and yen. The American portion runs through cards, matchboxes, darts, thousands of dice, plastic models and their tools, dioramas, monster and robot figures, train sets, tarot decks, and finger puppet kits, summing to roughly three thousand dollars. The Japanese portion adds a shooting-game set, a Christmas tree and presents, a marble coaster, and New Year decorations, pushing the combined figure to somewhere near forty-five hundred dollars.

Near composes the list and signs it himself, addressing it to Rester, the man charged with tracking everything down. Ryuk is the one who later acquires the document, lifting it during his wander through the SPK offices.
