Note: I found it hard to rate the difficulty of this puzzle. Some friends found it easier to bifurcate than to find the logic steps. Rest assured, no bifurcation is needed!

I had a sinking feeling I'd botched this solve so I came back to it, and yes, yes I did botch it. It's much prettier than whatever I was doing before haha
OP: Thanks for coming back and happy you enjoyed it!
