(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.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6x8bIMV3n
Lord Preen: (Emphasizing) Æther has changed everything.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rRkmjPbfM
Protagonist: (Confused) Æther?
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9h8IhC0VZZ
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.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡis5J8yYuVC
Protagonist: (Intrigued) Adapetus Mechanical, the brilliant inventor from the past. How wondrous it would be for him to witness these advancements.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWqNN9ouxx
Lord Preen: Truly, it is none other than Adapetus Æther, the pupil of Adapetus Mechanical, who delves into this new technology.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQYGL3c1rZ
Protagonist: (surprised) Adapetus Æther? Another Adapetus? This is most unexpected!
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXuUhfMjZr
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)
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwWQzvaWiw
Protagonist: (Surprised) My, these wings do shine and hum most peculiarly.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pOigs7YhU
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.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzr2Uviy6WF
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.
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8p5yEzoAcM
Lord Preen: (with a wry smirk) Doth it not seen our lives are but scripted for dramatic theatrics?
