I vaguely remember reading someone with great support for the pun being related to "eye" and how it was also used as "to see/look".

Perhaps the speaker would even point to their eye(s) ?

total dad joke, I'd believe it

Is that why that's happening?? how is it always like this I learn these things

Still very early in their relationship yet, but go read Girlfriend Manual by Saefira on WebToons !

and Nikki* Marmery for Lilith (started here, finished reading later)

huh. I'm realizing that outside this list of authors I consume many books but I mostly rest at 3 books each author (whether in FR or EN).

A year or so later, I reread this and really wished I still knew what element I was referring to.

This is gonna hurt so unpleasantly today
