(The protagonist and Lord Preen step onto the stage, wearing futuristic attire that still retains elements of their original wardrobe)
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3jUG8jOMM
Protagonist: (Looking around at the unfamiliar place) This place... it is so different.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0bWNcX8m4
Lord Preen: (Emphasizing) Æther has changed everything.

Protagonist: (Confused) Æther?
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKy7wLt57WA
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.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Tu4VEpCg5
Protagonist: (Intrigued) Adapetus Mechanical, the brilliant inventor from the past. How wondrous it would be for him to witness these advancements.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3upWdDp9fx
Lord Preen: Truly, it is none other than Adapetus Æther, the pupil of Adapetus Mechanical, who delves into this new technology.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7uZgR4vuL
Protagonist: (surprised) Adapetus Æther? Another Adapetus? This is most unexpected!
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBA6v7iONmr
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)
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXsN7bMpOx
Protagonist: (Surprised) My, these wings do shine and hum most peculiarly.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegLwct4Lzt
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.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAl52NTpyPv
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.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jxinZnRVS
Protagonist: (Deadpan) More Adepti, more enigma. It's as if our lives are scenes in a play.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDIAlp1mi6
Lord Preen: (with a wry smirk) Doth it not seen our lives are but scripted for dramatic theatrics?
