Hello everyone! With the recent greenlight (proposed by me, approved by me) for Book 2 of the DA series (meaning Divine Architecture, that's what I'm calling it), I have decided to tie up more loose ends. Square knotting the shit out of them, if you will.
This time, it's story points that can be gleaned from the book itself, but I always liked when—after I've read a book and go hunting for metamedia about it—an author confirms my theories and speculation. Makes me feel like I did a good job reading, aside from the joy of reading.
Without further ado, more answered questions:
In the secret underground chamber, there is a secreter, undergroundier chamber that opened for Rook, the very same one that neither Cas nor Sol could open and had to resort to breaking in. Why?
In one of these chapters, Rook mentions that she used to be human, and remembers being a human. She drowned, died, became Drowned, but carries this past life with her.
The moving wall yields to humans. There are actually two of them, one to enter the initial laboratory, and the other that leads down to the dark corridor and Harlan's electric murder chamber.
Rook was able to open both at a touch—which spooked her and Solomon—and so too could Harlan Xate, which is why he slipped in and out of there with relative ease, compared to our protagonists.

Brain? Jar? Brain in jar? How survive?
The brain in a jar, the catalyst of Harlan's obsession—how did it manage to last so long, and stay so coherent?
Fact of the matter is that it probably wasnt entirely sane when Harlan finally found it again. It hung on through the rejuvenating properties of the Preserving Water—which was also present in the lab—which lovingly cradled it within its briny embrace.
It died though, when Harlan lost his shit. He must have misplaced it or something. RIP to the human brain who, after centuries of waiting for their triumph, met their demise at the hands of a tenured Ivy League professor.

Casandra's breasts? Yes or no?
Yes. She thinks they're fun. So does Solomon.
...
What of Solomon's relatives? I feel like you set them up for something but then didn't do it.
Lucky for us all, Book 2 is happening! And you stay quiet about my unfired Chekhov's guns.
