So I finally make it out to the fields, and it was a wonderful sight, Aqre upon aqre of clue trees in bloom! 🌲 Of course, it's all so hard to navigate, but at this point I'm well trained enough to handle any map they give me right? NOPE, the Guide Arrow map this time was a variant!!

Rules: Shade some empty cells so that no two shaded cells are orthogonally adjacent and the remaining unshaded cells form one orthogonally connected area. No complete loop of cells may be unshaded (including 2x2s). An arrow indicates the only direction in which one could begin a path to the star without going through a shaded cell or backtracking
Variant: There may not exist a run of more than three consecutive unshaded cells horizontally or vertically anywhere in the grid
