Hi everyone! With the past few days' GAPPs being on the weirder end, I figured we needed something less weird to balance things out. As such, today's GAPP is a Shingoki, one of the three bakpao Special™️ genres!

Rules: Connect some pairs of orthogonally adjacent dots to form a single non-intersecting loop that passes through every circle. The loop must turn on black circles and go straight through white circles. A clue in a circle represents the sum of the lengths of the two line segments coming out of it.

Note that these do not necessarily act like Masyu clues.

As always, an image of an example puzzle and its solution are attached to the image of today's puzzle. Solve the example here, if you wish (Penpa+): https://tinyurl.com/yykmnsdj
