Field notes
His visible schedule breaks the morning into timestamped entries, from waking at 06:16 to reaching the office at 07:33; the page also supplies weather and a current location. A notebook passage about Mira ends with Bernard choosing to ask rather than assume what she feels, while a relationship list names five people and their roles.
