(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.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBE3PM5b89A
Lord Preen: (Emphasizing) Æther has changed everything.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpv8klUXfU
Protagonist: (Confused) Æther?
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWMxim3M0k
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.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB685nevLd8
Protagonist: (Intrigued) Adapetus Mechanical, the brilliant inventor from the past. How wondrous it would be for him to witness these advancements.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZlRbCYQcP
Lord Preen: Truly, it is none other than Adapetus Æther, the pupil of Adapetus Mechanical, who delves into this new technology.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswxYjYdK7B
Protagonist: (surprised) Adapetus Æther? Another Adapetus? This is most unexpected!
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhaAa4zeZ5
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)
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkh0kU7NuXF
Protagonist: (Surprised) My, these wings do shine and hum most peculiarly.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyayjWestKe
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.

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.
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRj1WXczaS
Lord Preen: (with a wry smirk) Doth it not seen our lives are but scripted for dramatic theatrics?
