Rengoku was always seen as the sun. Overwhelming and warm. Unattainable, untouchable.

He took pride in the glances of admiration threw at him from his fellow demon slayers, but your approval.. he sought after the most.

Off into his orbit you fell in line with the many others who loved him dearly. So close, you could feel his warmth radiating off onto you.

Indeed, overbearing, but certainly not unattainable. He sought for your touch even if he knew you were to get scorched.
