Renji hadn't spoken since exiting the tiny janitor's closet alongside the rest of his team mates. As he looked around the light-filled room, he felt humbled by the enormous Buddha statue located in the center of the massive space they'd walked into. Hundreds of lights illuminated the statue which made sense, given Buddha's true meaning. He noticed the drums too, frowning as he inspected them from afar. Why were they placed so oddly? Nothing came to him, so he figured he'd wait for someone else to speak first.

[i]"Anyone else religious or have any ideas what Buddha here means?"[/i] 

[color=Black][b]"The Enlightened One."[/b][/color] He spoke softly, his voice barely echoing off the walls of the room. He knew this from his time spent at study back at the monastery. The monks of [i]Shinkai Shūdōin[/i] had tutored him in the ways of both Shinto and Buddhism, to compliment his combat training. He hadn't realised he'd spoke until after the fact - when the others had turned to regard him, their inquisitive eyes almost urging him to continue. 

[color=Black][b]"His great light of knowledge is said to have illuminated all the lands in ten different directions."[/b][/color] He continued, referring to one of the many scriptures he'd been forced to memorize as a child. He looked again at the placement of the drums, squinting this time.

[color=Black][b]"Maybe the drums represent the ten directions and we're supposed to figure out which of them are the correct ones?"[/b][/color]
