Glad to hear you enjoyed it Elena.

To answer your questions:

I think Rhode is a statue for the time being so it'd be hard for her to talk.

The events at the ending of ED happened in the hall of echoes which is a very strange place, but I'll leave it up to Jan (our writer) to explain that wink

The cat is known as Arhu and he just came back from urgent business wink

If those answers are not really answering your questions, it's on purpose as we have a tendency to change our storylines multiple times as we develop, so anything I'd say here would be obsolete by the time we release our next thing.
