Today, after briefly reconnecting with Evelyn, William already noticed that during their short stay in Ravenwood, Evelyn's thoughts, behavior, and demeanor had undergone radical changes.
He could, in fact, understand all this.
With a change in status and power, one's mental state naturally alters too. Take Nicholas in the bar, for instance. After winning a few million dollars, didn't his entire persona change?
Evelyn was merely adapting to her current status, and there wasn't necessarily a right or wrong to it.
"William, let's find a place to sit and chat," said Evelyn. She glanced at Alice and smiled, "Alice, join us."
William nodded without uttering a word and followed Evelyn to find a seat.
