Points $P$, $Q$, $R$, and $S$ lie in the plane of the square $EFGH$ so that $EPF$, $FQG$, $GRH$, and $HSE$ are equilateral triangles inside square $EFGH$. If the side length of square $EFGH$ is 8, find the area of quadrilateral $PQRS$. Assume that the vertices $P$, $Q$, $R$, and $S$ lie on the sides of square $EFGH$, respectively.
