It's well known that the eyes are the "[[Windows of the Soul|windows to the soul]]" -- in—in fact, it's mentioned in perhaps half of the [[Eye Tropes]] we have. What does that actually mean?
Well, in effect, it generally means that looking into one's eyes can give one insight into what the person is thinking. At the very least, it can betray some level of emotion, and some even believe one can tell truth from lies, and determine the true nature of one's personality, simply by employing this method.
