Lavaloid

I had an idea for an intro but it ended up not working out, so I'll just point out that today's Shiromisaki Kuromisaki was set on a ferry and I think that's pretty cool

Rules:
- Shade some cells so that the remaining unshaded cells form one orthogonally connected area. No 2x2 region may be entirely shaded or unshaded.
- Circles mark every instance of a cell that is adjacent to exactly one cell of the same color. All white circles must be unshaded, and all black circles must be shaded.
- If a circle contains a number, it indicates how many cells are in the straight line of cells of the same color coming out of the cell with the circle, including itself.

GAPP 101: If an unclued shaded cell has three unshaded neighbors, the last neighbor must also be unshaded.
