Reef

Mnemonic

The stone that looks like a turkey boiling underwater is just a reef.

Hints

It may seem like there are a bunch of turkeys under there, but it's just the shape the reef takes. Though I guess if you're looking from above the water it really does look like a bunch of turkeys freaking out.

Mnemonic

The reef is the Shougun's (しょう) favorite place to be nowadays. He sits next to the water, and stares down into it for hours.

Hints

You don't know if the Shougun likes the reef because he likes the beauty of the ocean, or if he's fantasizing about turkeys boiling. He's a... complex man.
