(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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvvickAEry
Lord Preen: (Emphasizing) Æther has changed everything.

Protagonist: (Confused) Æther?
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CyeohI30t
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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnFvZwCEDA
Protagonist: (Intrigued) Adapetus Mechanical, the brilliant inventor from the past. How wondrous it would be for him to witness these advancements.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJtUKPv2IM
Lord Preen: Truly, it is none other than Adapetus Æther, the pupil of Adapetus Mechanical, who delves into this new technology.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINkLGYB0Zz
Protagonist: (surprised) Adapetus Æther? Another Adapetus? This is most unexpected!
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzPsjnGuN0
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)
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdO9W48vqH
Protagonist: (Surprised) My, these wings do shine and hum most peculiarly.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqJ64vRuGK
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.

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.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS08hsOSTcg
Lord Preen: (with a wry smirk) Doth it not seen our lives are but scripted for dramatic theatrics?
