(The protagonist and Lord Preen step onto the stage, wearing futuristic attire that still retains elements of their original wardrobe)

Protagonist: (Looking around at the unfamiliar place) This place... it is so different.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8sRfQ76ld
Lord Preen: (Emphasizing) Æther has changed everything.

Protagonist: (Confused) Æther?
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bYhYtYWs8
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvp5IX981d
Protagonist: (Intrigued) Adapetus Mechanical, the brilliant inventor from the past. How wondrous it would be for him to witness these advancements.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjbumtlZSZ
Lord Preen: Truly, it is none other than Adapetus Æther, the pupil of Adapetus Mechanical, who delves into this new technology.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9efGicriBJ
Protagonist: (surprised) Adapetus Æther? Another Adapetus? This is most unexpected!
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6NOr5TONL
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)
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9uwIY898l
Protagonist: (Surprised) My, these wings do shine and hum most peculiarly.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrM7ZNbBRiD
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKp51ee3cPZ
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1i3iyOZzsc
Lord Preen: (with a wry smirk) Doth it not seen our lives are but scripted for dramatic theatrics?
