    % U R2 B2 U D2 // 3e + E-slice (17-2)

    % : L2 F2 R2 @ D' R2 F2 L2 U' (8-3)(20)
    @ : R2 F2 U D' L2 F2 U' D (8-6)(22)

    Also got :

    U' D2 B // EO
    U L D2 L U L' // Domino (9) (same but rewritten)
    (D2 R2 D) F2 R2 U // HTR (15)
    D2 R2 F2 B2 L2 F2 U2 // Finish (22) not sliceable wtf

    and:


    U' D2 B // EO
    U L D2 L U L' // Domino (9) (same but rewritten)
    F2 R2 U' B2 U % // HTR (14)
    L2 D2 x2 // 4e4x

    % : D F2 L2 Lw2 F2 D' (6-0)(22)

    Spent the whole hour on this domino because I was convinced there was a 20 or something to find, but it turned out all my finishes are optimal if you keep L as the last move... This DR has 49 13-move finishes (some of them starting with L2 and which I missed)
