(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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLSwn5IN5u
Lord Preen: (Emphasizing) Æther has changed everything.

Protagonist: (Confused) Æther?
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKa7PMRqj7
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItlwOKmvwy
Protagonist: (Intrigued) Adapetus Mechanical, the brilliant inventor from the past. How wondrous it would be for him to witness these advancements.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaW2TMYSMq
Lord Preen: Truly, it is none other than Adapetus Æther, the pupil of Adapetus Mechanical, who delves into this new technology.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LBJ0wMFlG
Protagonist: (surprised) Adapetus Æther? Another Adapetus? This is most unexpected!
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZUGRlnZn8
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)
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZ5WuBgWcs
Protagonist: (Surprised) My, these wings do shine and hum most peculiarly.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmXr6yZ906
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptwha2btvz
Lord Preen: (with a wry smirk) Doth it not seen our lives are but scripted for dramatic theatrics?
