Puzzle 202 (Guide Arrow)

Hey, it's been a while!  I've been posting some puzzles on PuzzleSquare JP lately rather than here; feel free to check them out!  This change may or may not be temporary.  I know some users like bakpao and Eric used to have both official blogs and twitter feeds which housed different kinds of puzzles; it's possible I'll do the same thing here.

That said, I do want to cross-post one puzzle to this blog as well.  A few days ago I went back to the tilted square theme with Guide Arrow.  I thought a long time ago that constructing a 13x13 version of the theme would be almost impossible because the arrow clues were too far apart.  It turns out I missed a few possible break-ins that would have worked, and I eventually came up with a puzzle.  

Then I became ambitious and decided to see if I could make one with a 'hollow' square, rather than a 'filled in' square.  Somehow, the answer is "yes".  

This is definitely a step up in difficulty from my other Guide Arrows, but I still can't believe it's unique.
