Eternity, eager to lend a helping hand, followed him and meticulously assisted in changing the sheets and vacuuming the floor. She couldn't help but notice the intense unease that seemed to emanate from Evan as he scrutinized every detail in the room, ensuring absolute perfection.

Eternity nodded.
