It's not for Nick to know nor care for her agency, only Eve. She'd been robbed of the ability to make her own decisions since HW forcibly beat the crazy out of her and made her into a killer bot. Then HW was destroyed and the stick unravelled all of that conditioning, leaving compromised mentally and homeless, putting her in a position where she was dependent on Nick and Adalind for a long bit. Her deciding to move out was her regaining some control over her life, culminating with her telling Nick of the things she did whilst in the alternate universe.

The agency I meant was Eve making choices best for her as opposed to others doing that on her behalf. Nick is not her keeper, that was the whole point of that scene. They are exes whose lives took a diverging path and both are finally content. It wasn't for Nick to determine what made Eve happy, only Eve could do that. She already knew and long accepted that he was happy and just wanted him to accept the same for herself.
