(The protagonist and Lord Preen step onto the stage, wearing futuristic attire that still retains elements of their original wardrobe)
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAlmurG3FD
Protagonist: (Looking around at the unfamiliar place) This place... it is so different.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vF8tiuMsE
Lord Preen: (Emphasizing) Æther has changed everything.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNcGyYvCME
Protagonist: (Confused) Æther?
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlIDPhtYCk
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.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tgmsjojVG
Protagonist: (Intrigued) Adapetus Mechanical, the brilliant inventor from the past. How wondrous it would be for him to witness these advancements.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkP84cVn3l1
Lord Preen: Truly, it is none other than Adapetus Æther, the pupil of Adapetus Mechanical, who delves into this new technology.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvNRAEgRFT
Protagonist: (surprised) Adapetus Æther? Another Adapetus? This is most unexpected!
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYssWYUjJLe
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)
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxJXVPmkVL
Protagonist: (Surprised) My, these wings do shine and hum most peculiarly.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5zBbwAZPR
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.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtU8gzUeQo1
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.
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gNXC9qDH0
Lord Preen: (with a wry smirk) Doth it not seen our lives are but scripted for dramatic theatrics?
