What in this world is she trying to say?
$begingroup$
I happened to meet one of my friends after about a couple of years. Obviously we both were very happy, but still, she didn't leave her habit of challenging me to decipher what she was saying. I thought that again she'll give me some seemingly random characters to search for some meaning; but she didn't.
Instead she started drawing some boxes on the ground, which turned out to be two 5x5 grids, and yes there was a number in each cell too. This was what it looked like:
Obviously I couldn't decipher at that time what in this world she was trying to say, so I just clicked the photograph, and continued with the rest of our talks. And yes, she said that it is more of a visual puzzle.
All this happened some time back, but today I found that photo again, and as usual I didn't know what it meant.
What in this world was she trying to say?
By the way, this is a direct hint to this puzzle.

Is the cell in the second grid (col 4, row 5) supposed to just show half of two?

@Elpharya It is supposed to show the complete "2". Thanks, I'll update the picture.

+1, but note that the solution is far from unique, you can basically do whatever you like in the middle and then fill out the exterior accordingly.

That's the right answer! Maybe you should try the puzzle linked in the question? I think it'll be very easy now.

@ArnaudMortier Are you sure? Slitherlink has specific rules - you have to form a single loop without crossings or branches. I tried the puzzle and there is only one solution. I'd like to see a counterexample if you have one. Unless you mean multiple solutions to the puzzle itself, assuming it's NOT slitherlink, then, of course, all bets are off...
