Renji had never heard of Kaelee; it was probably another of those not-Earth places that he now knew existed. "What kind of place is Kaeleer?" he asked. It was something to talk about that didn't just make him angrier. That seemed like a good idea.

"It feels just a binding spell," Renji said. "But one only on the spirit." He was familiar with how those felt. Rukia used to do bindings on him all the time until he got good at breaking out of them, because she thought it was hilarious that he was pathetic at kidou. And, he grudgingly admitted, it really was. "But there's got to be more to it or one of us would've broke free long ago."

Everyone had lost something important to them, just being brought here. But he was still curious. Allen had his Innocence, the Shinigami had their zanpakuto. "What'd the take from you?" It could be anything from the mundane to the powerful, and one more thing to look for.
