Please read the rules carefully on this one, there are two very weird things about this genre, including a negative constraint! I've highlighted them so you see them more easily. Thanks for solving!

We have covered many a crossing loop genre in GAPP. This is because I love them, a lot. Loopy crossy just tickles the brain for me. As such, here is yet another one-- Reflect Link, a genre I hope you will find more intuitive than most crossing loops, due to its unusual ruleset!

Rules: Draw a loop through the centers of some cells. All instances of the loop crossing itself are marked with a +. Every triangle must be touched by the loop. Triangles reflect the loop at right angles, and a number in a triangle indicates the total number of cells that the lines coming out of it travel to before turning, including the cell the triangle is in.
