Didn't see that coming.

Somehow she did bind her chest. She just ran out of air and fainted. Now for the surprise when they open her shirt, or the bindings burst.

The bears are funny. "She DIED!". maybe of EMBARRASSMENT, but not really.

Tomorrow the big reveal. Someone will examine her and wonder what the heck she is wearing under her shirt.

Should have. After all the discussion yesterday about binding and the problems this is the result. I guess she does not have a third form. Or her anger with Pickle caused her to go Siren and the binding pressure got worse.

Either she morphed smaller and just now morphed big again, or she's binding herself and is burning too much oxygen. Or maybe both.

I read the earlier threads but after reviewing the comic panels, it appeared to me that Atsali had shape shifted rather than had herself bound. I couldn't imagine bindings so tight as to make Atsali look like her old self and still allowing her to breath much less move about. Judging from today's page I was wrong.

I've just now noticed that Atsali is wearing three layers of shirts. I'm going with she was binding herself, and shouting at Castela used up more air than she's able to breathe (barely any). She's probably got herself wrapped down pretty tightly, and is using layers to minimize (a common trick), the rest is art style/obfuscation. The clothing was actually good foreshadowing now that I see it. She doesn't usually wear as much.

My thoughts exactly. I think I'll have to wait for the official explanation on that part. Hopefully Bud will come to the rescue tomorrow to bail Atsali out, she can't be too far away.

BTW, the way Castella is using here eyestalks to look left and right without turning her head is kind of cute in a creepy-ish way. (And now that's I've associated the word 'eyestalks' with them I can't help but associate her with a Dalek )

Big reveal Indeed. Either someone will step in to perform C.P.R., and tear open her shirt(s) to do Mouth to Mouth or as Atsali put it so eloquently, she'll be "Bustin' out all Over". If someone comes to do mouth to mouth I wonder if it 'll be a cute Boy.

Could be binding/layering, I suppose (if the latter, overheating might also be a factor), could be something else going on. I'm not holding my breath, but I'm suspending judgement for now.

I think "both" She managed to morph down to a B cup which she could bind to acceptable flatness, then "went siren" and out came the H's (for Hypoxia)

I think we've seen a demonstration of gauze and effect.

Somebody, when you least expect it, is going to hit you.

And laugh!

My guess is, "What happens when a shape shifter who has a large, dangerous, predatory form is suddenly deprived of oxygen?"

I'm thinking 'Sali will be busting out, in the way only a seven foot tall bird girl with a thirty foot wingspan can.

Yeah, it's true she usually minimizes her wings, even in full Siren form, but if I'm right, her body will go to full fight or flight mode, and well see Atsali in her full avian glory. I just hope her clothes survive the experience.

Edit, the first time we see Atsali's full wingspan.

Oh, so that's Atsali's other form. She's a possum.

WIN!

So she IS all taped up? Given how much she swelled up the night before, I'm shocked that it took *this* long for her to pass out...

If the Ursa twins think about it that would be paws and reflect.

Panel one is such a teenager/bratty kid sister dynamic - look at Pickle's expression.

She may not know why Atsali is upset, but she sure knows how to tease her.

Yeah, I mean, after http://wapsisquare.com/comic/cantbreathe/ I was not expecting successful binding. But today's ...

Consider judgement suspended.

more like a cute MEDIC... and, like Monica, hopefully she won't remember him getting knocked out from the shrapnel as the bindings give way, either... I tried, but I couldn't find the link, sorry...
