Normal sudoku rules apply. Place the digits 1-9 once each in every row, column, and 3x3 box.
Thermometers (gray): Digits must strictly increase along gray thermometers, starting from the bulb end.
Entropic Lines (peach): Every three sequential cells along peach entropic lines must take one low digit (1,2,3), one medium digit (4,5,6), and one high digit (7,8,9).
Aligned Renbans (pink): Digits along pink renban lines must be consecutive. Additionally, digits on renban lines increase in one direction, and it's the same direction for both renban lines.

The thermos can be completely covered by R258 and C258. Compare these two sets (R258 vs C258). Since they both contain three complete sets of the digits 1-9, they must both sum to the same total. Given the thermo clues, how do you make this possible?
