The Sleep of One Hundred Years -

Rabbi Onias is saddened by the sight of Jerusalem destroyed. He falls asleep and sleeps for 100 years. When he waked, Jerusalem is not destroyed, because it has been rebuilt. He meets his grandson who is now 80 years old. In the end, he asks to be taken back to the place he had slept because he isn't of this world. He goes back to sleep and passes away.

**Notes for me: Futaba is saddened (even though she's also relieved) about her pyramid being destroyed. Drained of all energy, she falls asleep. She doesn't wake up for 100 years. She finds Morgana who is not of this world either, therefore still alive. He takes her to see Akira, who has waited all this time for her to wake. That would make him 116 years old. I'm not sure how well this will turn out for them.

The Higgledy-Piggledy Palace

This is pretty similar to the real plot, so I'm going to skip writing a brief summary.

**Notes for me: Joker and Skull try to hide Panther from Kamoshida when she enters their castle. She is caught and he wishes to make her his Queen. Skull and Mona hide in the shadows and clock Kamoshida over the head with a a couple of lamps they found in the hall repeatedly. He locks her in a cell for the night. Joker hides in the shadows and interferes with his evening. The next morning, Panther is released and he begs her to go home and not come back.
