[ It isn't a diary, per se, but it's got a lot of writing in it. A lot of it is numbers and equations that are probably hard to understand, as well as some scientific jargon...but they'll at least be able to make out the words inter dimensional travel.
There are also mentions of a Kiznaiver project from a place called Sugomori City in Japan. ]
Think the boss would pick a shitty room like this?
[ Luci asks, clearly unconvinced, as he leans over, almost upside down, cheek on the table. Look... he doesn't trust there isn't something here to make it obvious that he's manhandling this thing. And mostly because he doesn't want an audience and can't read her meta text-- ]
Go look somewhere over there.
[ Complete with a dismissive wave of his little hand without looking away from the notebook. ]
[ There is another door at the back of the room! And if Mae peeks inside, well. There are a ton of the shop items in here. Broken clocks, fish slippers, etc. It's like a giant storage room of sorts.
Luci can also see something fall out from between some of the pages: A suppressor chip. This chip seems to have fallen out from some of the earlier pages. ]
[ Anything else interesting in the rest of these pages? He's flipping through the rest of it, setting that chip to the side for now. If he can have his bag for all of this, it's getting tucked carefully in there. ]
[ Mae will find, off to the side, an inventory list of all the items in the gacha. The most notable part of the list is the section with all of your peers' items from home on it. There are "check in" and "check out" dates. The check out dates are when you all received items from this gacha. The "check in" dates are dated from around a week before you arrived here.
As for Luci, he'll see that there are notes on the suppressor chip that talk about modifications to extend to one's abilities. It looks like there are some studies and notes on someone as example: Cater, specifically.
Otherwise the books are still available to be looked at! ]
[ Luci will move on to split the book pile with Mae, but he puts his hand over any that she goes for. He'll let her look after she answers. ]
What'd you find?
[ Either way, he'll let her help actually. What kind of books do we have here? Titles? Luci lifts them to make sure they weigh the right amount for paper. ]
[ He says, flipping through pages and stopping on anything he finds interesting. Luci is also taking photos if he can in here, before hopping down if there's nothing else to catch the gaze he sweeps over the room (or beyond if she left the door open). ]
[ That's cool. Elevator or not, he's flipping through more of this inter dimensional stuff on her shoulder. He went to college but this is probably above his communications major pay grade. ]
Go faster, this stuff is deeense.
[ However they get there, Luci shuts the book on floor 9. What is up here to call his attention first? ]
[ Floor 9 has more science-based books, so it makes sense why the inter dimensional stuff would be up here. The main thing to note, though, is there's an entire section that seems to be blocked off by a glass casing.
The casing goes around an entire seating area and has a few small bookshelves around the chairs. There are also notably no other books on the aforementioned subject around. ]
[ There is a door, but it can't be unlocked. However, inside, Mae can probably see faint glimpses of the dimensional traveling books, some other books related to emotions and pain, and...a familiar, dreaded flower logo on one of the notebooks on the table.
Also, to clarify something about the Kiznaiver notes: There is also mention of a sponsorship. Whoever's book this is was a sponsor of the project, apparently.

Inter dimensional travel, huh... Wait, so... is this the bad guy's lair?
[Surprisingly cozy for the home of a kidnapper. Unless Mae is completely off, of course.
Now that she's in here, she'll leave the notebook to Luci and look around. Any other doors in or out?]

As for the books, they seem to be from the bookstore. They've got "ESTELLINE UNIVERSITY BOOKSTORE" stamps on them so it's pretty obvious!
Now, for the books on inter dimensional travel, those are labeled with a "FLOOR 9" stamp. ]

Floor 9? I haven't been up there.

Let's return some books!

[Nowhere to go but up! She'll let Luci ride her shoulders.
But there better be some functioning elevators or you'll get to hear her complain all the way to floor 9.]
