To finish up, make the eye icons always face the eyes, as we did with the head

other aim constraint. This time set Aim Vector to -1 in the Z channel. Also, enable
Maintain Offset if the eye group is higher than the head joint.

It's quite easy to rig Kila's bosom; we merely need to point-constrain each joint to an icon
