(The protagonist and Lord Preen step onto the stage, wearing futuristic attire that still retains elements of their original wardrobe)

Protagonist: (Looking around at the unfamiliar place) This place... it is so different.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2VKDIlSrD
Lord Preen: (Emphasizing) Æther has changed everything.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gxJs6OLMr
Protagonist: (Confused) Æther?
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVj0qKNXZu
Lord Preen: Æther, dear friend, a marvel of our age! A force harnessed from the celestial heavens, powering our contraptions with the might of suspensium and the very essence of the skies.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvdRloo646
Protagonist: (Intrigued) Adapetus Mechanical, the brilliant inventor from the past. How wondrous it would be for him to witness these advancements.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwUlq3EOic
Lord Preen: Truly, it is none other than Adapetus Æther, the pupil of Adapetus Mechanical, who delves into this new technology.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjSQg9jIbQ
Protagonist: (surprised) Adapetus Æther? Another Adapetus? This is most unexpected!
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkB51ihROH
Lord Preen: Aye, the Adapetus Æther is nothing like his predecessor, the Mechanical. He's plagued by paranoia and nervously tinkers with this new Æther technology.

(The protagonist and Lord Preen walk past the imposing Æther Machine, her wings beginning to glow and hum as they near it)
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgD2xXHQjC5
Protagonist: (Surprised) My, these wings do shine and hum most peculiarly.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPOr5BesPo
Lord Preen: (Observant) Indeed, these wings seem to have a curious connection to Æther-powered devices. Perhaps we should find the Adapetus Æther for an explanation.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5LUxZ6u0J
Lord Preen: "Hark, the pursuit of another Adapetus, my dear! Were I bestowed a farthing for each such endeavour, I would rival the entire fortune of Narciss.

Protagonist: (Deadpan) More Adepti, more enigma. It's as if our lives are scenes in a play.
241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJW8DYFhMY
Lord Preen: (with a wry smirk) Doth it not seen our lives are but scripted for dramatic theatrics?
