>> I like how Natasha is getting better at pointing out just what feeling is disturbing her. That means she's getting better at recognising and NOT repressing her own emotions. <<
Yes, exactly. It's good progress.
>> She's still effective, but I hope that her changing in emotions also means she'll be able to use this in her field work. <<
She's always going to be a BAMF. However, years of diligent effort have paid off in a way that nobody has quite realized yet: this is the point where she's far enough along to start dismantling the self-reinforcing aspects of the Red Room training. So it may change how she does her job and how she takes care of herself afterwards.
>> Also, I love that you're using a famous nursery rhyme again. <<
Yay! I had fun with it.
>> My local (Dutch) version just didn't speak of a little spider and a water spout, but of a beetle and a fence. Now I wonder what the Russian version is like. <<
That is so cute. I don't know a Russian version, alas. If anybody finds one, I can link it.
