Summary
She never forgets Natasha. She never forgets anything about their life in Ohio, actually. She imagines that she is one of the roly-poly bugs that they used to catch together, hardening her outside and letting it accept all of the violence and hatred that the Red Room has to offer while she curls inward and protects her soft insides, remembers hazy summer days and nights spent catching fireflies and what it was to have a family.
***
Or: five times that control is taken from Yelena and she hates it, plus one time that she gives it away willingly.

Summary
Her body is a book of rules, an encyclopedia of crimson violence meted out and received in equal measure. There are whole chapters of her life missing, scars that she has no frame of reference for—missing pages torn from her spine that leave her bare-bones and trembling in the water as she tries to read between the lines and figure out who she even is anymore.
***
Or: Yelena tries to figure out what it means to reclaim her body after the Red Room.

Summary
It's a strange thing, to finally have the chance to experience the world for what it really is, to claim each day for herself and no one else. She feels like a sapling tree coming out of a long winter, hardened bark peeling away to reveal fresh green wood beneath. There is so much of herself that she's never known existed, so many simple pleasures that she's never experienced, and she wants to dig her roots deep and drink up every possible second of it to make up for the time that she's lost.
*
Or: Yelena doesn't know what she likes, so she decides to make a list to try to figure it out.
