(The protagonist and Lord Preen step onto the stage, wearing futuristic attire that still retains elements of their original wardrobe)
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCclSM9sq2p
Protagonist: (Looking around at the unfamiliar place) This place... it is so different.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKv3oQFtGx
Lord Preen: (Emphasizing) Æther has changed everything.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjrg5u4zji
Protagonist: (Confused) Æther?
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltLLwlED9d
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNTX4OfBdx
Protagonist: (Intrigued) Adapetus Mechanical, the brilliant inventor from the past. How wondrous it would be for him to witness these advancements.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPacANCgro
Lord Preen: Truly, it is none other than Adapetus Æther, the pupil of Adapetus Mechanical, who delves into this new technology.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrUDAXebDU
Protagonist: (surprised) Adapetus Æther? Another Adapetus? This is most unexpected!
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTC8Tb29fBs
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)
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tJUnc7mO1
Protagonist: (Surprised) My, these wings do shine and hum most peculiarly.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx261a9OMaz
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1chS2YjnpP
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.
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJa3oBbeZ1h
Lord Preen: (with a wry smirk) Doth it not seen our lives are but scripted for dramatic theatrics?
