I thought I would just throw this in here to dispel any witchcraft rumors. What I showed above was just a method for making a semicircle follow me where the segments finish perpendicular to the face, as is needed for follow me to complete the faces horizontally.
But it is just half a full circle follow me, albeit half a segment rotated. You can see the difference in this image, the one on the right has vertical faces because of the rotated circle , the one in the middle has sloped last faces either side because it is a split of a full follow me (the gif below) and the one on the left shows what happens if you use a semi circle for follow me. It rotates the beginning and end faces to be perpendicular to the first and last segments.

The two things happening offscreen are, Orient faces, and Soften/smooth.
