Today's puzzle is a Hitori, also known as Leave Me Alone. It's standard in Hitori to fill every cell with a number, in order to... obfuscate scanning? Make the grid look nice? Not sure, but I chose not to do it for today's puzzle.

Rules: Shade some cells such that no two shaded cells are edge-adjacent and all unshaded cells form one edge-connected network. There must not be more than one unshaded instance of the same number in a row or column.
