(The protagonist and Lord Preen step onto the stage, wearing futuristic attire that still retains elements of their original wardrobe)
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALz5StJLOS
Protagonist: (Looking around at the unfamiliar place) This place... it is so different.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVYCZfttfN
Lord Preen: (Emphasizing) Æther has changed everything.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7z9wyJ1LwO
Protagonist: (Confused) Æther?
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniyWhmff7g
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgO9TpWk1O
Protagonist: (Intrigued) Adapetus Mechanical, the brilliant inventor from the past. How wondrous it would be for him to witness these advancements.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz09ETmKSfM
Lord Preen: Truly, it is none other than Adapetus Æther, the pupil of Adapetus Mechanical, who delves into this new technology.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpg1rVat58
Protagonist: (surprised) Adapetus Æther? Another Adapetus? This is most unexpected!
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6DtepUpHn
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)
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ02YNw39lS
Protagonist: (Surprised) My, these wings do shine and hum most peculiarly.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bj8e2yKyd
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4nwMibatz
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMLupCS0Tk
Lord Preen: (with a wry smirk) Doth it not seen our lives are but scripted for dramatic theatrics?
