You see this is where some of us part company - this is a completely incongruous and impossible scene - these should be massively interacting conjoined twins, the smaller one parasitizing the larger one (the smaller one must have the heavier core, or else would've been subsumed already). There's just no interaction at all between them - you could cut'n'paste both of them onto separate backgrounds and there'd be nothing amiss; no clue they'd just been wrested from one another's fratricidal grasp.
Without elongating deformation, accretion discs, and blinding, cataclysmic, teeth-shattering explosions as gas-giant-sized globules of plasma are ripped from the belching donor's disc, smashing down into the furious marauding upstart, it's just, so.. meh.
Did you know FE2 has contact binaries too? Including some where the smaller twin lies fully within the corona of its larger sibling. You even get some that are perfectly centered on each other, like Russian dolls. However, like the ones pictured here, they're just statistical accidents, outliers of an otherwise inert and indifferent probability distribution. They look 'nice' insofar as all ED's stars do - but this is no contact binary in any meaningful sense. Just a cut'n'shut of regular stars pasted side by side - its only anomaly is the absence of any semblance of what actually makes such pairs so interesting to astronomers.
Like planetary landings, they should've been omitted until they could be properly rendered... where you're seeing something wondrous, awesome and special, anyone with an interest in astronomy is seeing conspicuous absences...
