Wait, what?

What do you mean Sudoku isn't the only puzzle genre that can have variants?
I thought that's what made it Sudoku!

Well... now that we're doing a variant for GAPP, the floodgates have been opened, and the possibilities for what can be GAPP are now truly endless!

Today's puzzle is an Ayeheya, a Heyawake variant!

Rules: Shade some cells so that no two shaded cells are orthogonally adjacent and the remaining unshaded cells form one orthogonally connected area. Numbered regions must contain the indicated amount of shaded cells. A line of consecutive unshaded cells may not cross more than one bold border.
Variant: The shaded cells within a region must have 180° rotational symmetry around the region’s center.
