Majo - Maybe a working title, maybe not. The story which truly introduces us to the concept of Witches, even if one also appears in RE2 earlier in the schedule. A story that starts in our world, but quickly changes to another, far stranger one when some kind of portal, vortex or wormhole opens up under the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, taking most of the bridge - which was packed with traffic - with it. They then ended up in a world they'd later find was named "Majo" (pronounced ma-ho), a towering, endless cityscape - not a Sci-Fi one though, I'd describe it being more like if an entire world was made up of Tetsuya Nomura's architecture designs and aesthetics, sort of castlepunk in a way, where the buildings are so tall and high they "fade into" the sky above, allowing one to still see an endless, starry orange sky with a truly colossal moon hanging in the center of the sky at all times, surrounded by a vortex where the sky shifts all around it, but the stars themselves do not, the stars being an extreme variety of colors, with some even being black in coloration - and randomly disappearing and appearing from the sky itself. In the initial chaos, those on the bridge are attacked in droves by men of extremely varied body types in heavy, covering armor with red spiral-patterned eyes on their helmets, and those who do not die attempting to run or resist arrest either manage to escape - or, if they were unlucky, as the vast majority were - end up taken by these soldiers to a massive, castle-like fortress which hangs over the region of the seemingly endless city at its center, where they are processed and assigned as the "property" of mysterious beings that they are told are called "Witches," and depending on which Witch they were assigned (determined based on the symbol) are either released into the city to make simple tax money (called "pentacles" here and taking the form of golden coins with a pentacle design on them), or outright forced into specific jobs or tasks. However, a few did manage to escape, and are forced to hide in the shadows as those among the city look for them, while those who were processed are forced to survive in accordance with an increasingly insane and alien bureaucracy, as both groups come to terms with how the population of the city, while full of humans in excess, is populated by a staggering number of races and beings compared to anything they know or are used to, all taken from vastly different worlds. An ensemble story like RE2, it focuses on the "daily grind" element of the people trying to live their life - in hiding or not - in this bizarre world as more and more is slowly revealed about the mysterious, tyrannical witches that rule the world known only as Majo.

An extremely significant story as it properly reveals the beings known as Witches, all female, godlike entities that each used to be a girl or woman from out in the meta who experienced an emotion significantly intense enough for the Witch King herself, named Alice (after the wonderland character, not myself lol), to take them from their home and body and shape them into a Witch, though more key elements of what it means to be a Witch is revealed in 108 and WHO more. It also is the debut of Wrye and Lucia, the two most significant Witch villains in the tarot universe who appear in almost every story strongly featuring Witches - and while Lucia does not show up in RE2, she is the one who tasked the witch villain of that story with her task.
