Hello! Today's puzzle is a T-Junction which hasn't seen much love since it was implemented in pzprxs. I feel obliged to a bit more so that the rules aren't twice as long as the introduction, though you might not need all of them.

I hope everyone is enjoying their advent calendars. I finished all 24 chocolates on the first day and Christmas can't come soon enough.

Rules:
- Place a T-junction in every empty cell such that all T-junctions form one connected network.
- Two adjacent cells cannot have T-junctions in the same orientation.
- There can be no "dangling lines", i.e. all lines must connect to other T-junctions, shaded cells, or the edge of the grid.
- A shaded cell may not have multiple T-junctions of the same orientation connect to it.
- A number indicates how many T-junctions connect to this cell.
