| - J's Diary is an unused memo in Rule of Rose. It is a shared diary between young Jennifer and Wendy. The drawings of the pages reveal that it is set about the time when Jennifer used to live with Gregory M. Wilson, after her parents died in the accidental air crash. This item can only be acquired through hacking. It is unknown why it wasn't included in the final version of the game, but there could be a few reasons why:
* It is written in May, which contracts the timeline of the W & J Letters.
* The dates of the diary don't follow chronologically (for example, it begins May 1, then jumps to May 7), possibly due to a developer error
* Rule of Rose was probably rushed and the developers may not have thought of a place to put the diary, or someone accidentally forgot to include it
* The diary seems to contain lesbian undertones between Jennifer and Wendy (mentioning kisses), and the developers of Rule of Rose may have been uncomfortable with this idea
* Some of the things mentioned in the diary are already mentioned or expressed in the W & J Letters, and the developers may have felt J's Diary was redundant Although it is difficult to read the content, some parts can be read when the resolution is boosted in an emulator, however, the original textures are still low-resolution and only fragments can be read.
