(The protagonist and Lord Preen step onto the stage, wearing futuristic attire that still retains elements of their original wardrobe)
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iMdpO7D8x
Protagonist: (Looking around at the unfamiliar place) This place... it is so different.
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EJ1uDP0fL
Lord Preen: (Emphasizing) Æther has changed everything.
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfceD5XbbIR
Protagonist: (Confused) Æther?
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRTUTwgLRj
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.
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGJEBuqpFi
Protagonist: (Intrigued) Adapetus Mechanical, the brilliant inventor from the past. How wondrous it would be for him to witness these advancements.
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oVekDSIUO
Lord Preen: Truly, it is none other than Adapetus Æther, the pupil of Adapetus Mechanical, who delves into this new technology.
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7U01Qxl9aX
Protagonist: (surprised) Adapetus Æther? Another Adapetus? This is most unexpected!
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAoRskrUTX
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)
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhRGOAX6bh
Protagonist: (Surprised) My, these wings do shine and hum most peculiarly.
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeBmDeR35E
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.
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIKWEPITIc
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.
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyziNFAJBhD
Lord Preen: (with a wry smirk) Doth it not seen our lives are but scripted for dramatic theatrics?
