Husband and wife nodded and rose from the bench. They looked at each other. There were so many words. Good luck. Be careful. I love you. Come back home safely. So many words. But there were no words as those would have failed them. Looking in each other's eyes, all that could be said and more passed between the two. And then they strode out to face their destinies.
—Shinji and Asuka, HERZ, chapter 11
All that was left was to gaze into the eyes of the other, and to see your own eyes superimposed from their point of view.
The German redhead seemed to consider his question for an eternity, rolling it in her mind and wondering if she should answer. For the first time in the night, their eyes locked on one another.

No matter how hard I try
I can't escape that gaze tonight
No matter how hard I try
I can't escape that gaze tonight

Candace: Don't move a muscle, Phineas! I'll be right back!

Fuka: Desco, play close attention! Those two are husband and wife, you got that? They're in the middle of a husband/wife romance scene.
Desco: Big Sis, how could you tell? Desco had no idea!
Fuka: Hmhmhm... Desco, you're still a child. It's okay, I'll teach you. The eye contact between them tells you everything you need to know. It's so obvious.

The World's Mightiest Girl turned to the World's Mightiest Boy. Both stared deeply at each other and tried to find something to say.
But there really wasn't much left to talk about.
So they fell into each other's arms and kissed, long and hard, while the Earth, the clouds, and over a thousand feet of sky turned beneath them.
