(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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoiv0QWDrX
Lord Preen: (Emphasizing) Æther has changed everything.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhB6iLVQHx
Protagonist: (Confused) Æther?
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CqCjCa4T9
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTM1dl9906H
Protagonist: (Intrigued) Adapetus Mechanical, the brilliant inventor from the past. How wondrous it would be for him to witness these advancements.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdKUT7NHuI
Lord Preen: Truly, it is none other than Adapetus Æther, the pupil of Adapetus Mechanical, who delves into this new technology.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKz845CGUbB
Protagonist: (surprised) Adapetus Æther? Another Adapetus? This is most unexpected!
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpGrBAV7Ti
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)
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbz16V9RB3b
Protagonist: (Surprised) My, these wings do shine and hum most peculiarly.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡej5saIk4xS
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQqDNQrWDb
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.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZDwgbdfws
Protagonist: (Deadpan) More Adepti, more enigma. It's as if our lives are scenes in a play.
244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt97WTEYsy4
Lord Preen: (with a wry smirk) Doth it not seen our lives are but scripted for dramatic theatrics?
