Indirect speech is a way of reporting what someone else has said without using their exact words. In the transformation to the indirect speech:
- There would be no change in the reporting verb.
- The present tense "is" changes to the past tense "was" to match the past tense narrative.
- The phrase "his euphoria fading" is repositioned to the beginning for a smoother flow, but its meaning stays the same.
