Puzzle 128 (Numberlink)

Have another Numberlink puzzle.  I'm not 100% confident this is unique, but I have reason to believe it is.  (Unlike last time, Noq was pretty slow in checking uniqueness for this one, so I couldn't rely on it.)

The way Nikoli pumps out so many Numberlink puzzles is kind of insane.  I have no idea how to create ones that have actual artistry to them nor how to prove uniqueness in a reasonable way. 

EDIT 10/22/22: Proven unique!  Thanks IHNN 😀.
