Looking at your claw, you see that the ring is still on one of your talons.
"Wait until they see me like this!" you say.
But when you turn back to the open hatch you see that you have a problem. You're grown a bit bigger and your belly has grown a bit fatter, and you're not sure you'll be able to fit back through the hatch.
"I'd better turn back first." you say and try to remove the ring -but to your dismay it won't come off! No matter how hard you pull you can't get it over your nobbly knuckles. Sighing, you turn your attention back to the hatchway.
