"Hello and, again, welcome to the GAPP-erture Science Computer-Aided Enrichment Center. We hope your brief detention in the relaxation vault has been a pleasant one. Your specimen has been processed and we are now ready to begin the test proper."

Today's genre is a Portal Loop!

Rules: Draw a non-intersecting loop through the centers of all cells. When the loop enters a portal with no number, it must travel straight through the cell the portal is in (note that there are no numberless portals in this puzzle). When the loop enters a portal with a number, it must teleport to the corresponding portal and continue in the same direction (the loop does not necessarily have to visit the portals in ascending order).
