 Just as for [[Quotes/Consoles|consoles]], a horizontal line signals a page break and ''italics'' are comments.

+The diary pages are available globally (they're stored in level0_Final.dat) and unfortunately they're a bit messed up in the original game:
-#The diary opens at the first page (ESCAPE MOVES) in {{C11}}, {{C12}} and {{C13}}<br>In the other chapters, it opens at the last pages.<br>Probably the diary opens at the first page by default, unless there are new diary entries or combat moves associated with the level.
+#The diary pages are interleaved with [[Quotes/Moves|Combat move pages]], which is an odd choice (the diary is in-universe, whereas combat moves mention keypresses and such).
-#The {{C12}} entry (Monday - Nov 29) appears in {{C6}} (Wednesday - Nov 24)<br>It's displayed from then on, between the entries for {{C5}} and {{C6}}<br>So it looks like Mai can read the future...
+#The diary opens at the first page (ESCAPE MOVES) in [[Chapter 11]], [[Chapter 12]] and [[Chapter 13]]. In the other chapters, it opens at the last page.<br>(Probably the diary opens at the first page by default, unless there are new diary entries or combat moves associated with the level.)
-#The year is probably 2032, but can also be 2038, 2049. Note that 2032 is a "Bungie year" : 2+0+3+2=7.
+#The [[Chapter 12]] entry (Monday - Nov 29) is wired for level7 (Obsolete) instead of level14 (Science Prison) and therefore appears in [[Chapter 6]] (Wednesday - Nov 24).<br>From then on, it is displayed at this same position, between the entries for [[Chapter 5]] and [[Chapter 6]], creating the awkward impression that Mai can read the future....
+Based on the calendar's correlation between dates and days of the week, the year is probably [[Quotes/Manual#Pre-Mission_Briefing|2032]], but can also be 2038, 2049, [[Restless_Souls/Reconstruction/Gapfilling#Time_setting|2055]], etc. Note that 2032 is a "Bungie year": 2+0+3+2='''[[Seven|7]]''', and the same trick works with 2032 in binary, which is not a likely coincidence or a mathematical inevitability!
