Scoped to The Glasshouse. Every answer cites chapter anchors — grounded in the text, distinct from speculative Opportunities.
Where does the protagonist's motivation shift?
Nora's motivation turns twice. In ch.9 her restoration project stops being an act of grief and becomes an investigation — she begins keeping the architect's notebook for evidence rather than measurements. The harder pivot is in ch.17, where she chooses to pursue the truth even as it threatens her standing in the village.
Show me every scene at the glasshouse.
There are four substantial glasshouse scenes: the first survey (ch.1), the discovery beneath the floor (ch.5), the night Daniel finds the letters (ch.14), and the confrontation (ch.20). Several shorter passages reference it but do not stage action there.
Is the sister's death foreshadowed before ch.1?
There is no pre-ch.1 material — the manuscript opens on the present-day return. Within ch.1, the drowning is established directly, and the ambiguous body identification (¶4) is the earliest seed that the death may not be what it seems.
