In the quiet hallway of the hospital, two senior doctors walked side by side while discussing the recent incident.
"Did you hear about it?" one of them said.
"The assistant doctor… apparently he saved the baby everyone thought was dead."
The other doctor nodded slightly.
"Yes, I heard. Quite a strange case."
He paused for a moment.
"I saw the child earlier."
The first doctor looked curious.
"Oh? How was he?"
The doctor smiled faintly.
"A very cute baby."
Then he added thoughtfully,
"Though something about him felt… unusual."
"Unusual?"
"Well… the baby has white hair."
The other doctor stopped walking.
"White hair?"
"Yes. For a newborn, that's extremely rare."
The first doctor frowned slightly.
"Hmm… that is unusual."
He looked back toward the direction of the maternity ward.
"Maybe we should run a proper checkup."
The other doctor nodded.
"Just to be safe."
But neither of them noticed…
Through the glass window of the nursery room…
the baby quietly lay in the cradle.
His small eyes were open.
And those golden eyes silently watched the hallway.
A few minutes later, a young nurse entered the nursery room.
She looked to be around twenty years old, still new to the hospital.
Her eyes immediately fell on the newborn lying quietly in the cradle.
"So this is the baby everyone was talking about…" she murmured softly.
She slowly leaned closer.
The baby's face looked calm and innocent.
"So cute…"
Without thinking, she gently extended her finger, wanting to lightly touch the baby's hand.
But the moment her finger reached him—
the newborn suddenly grabbed it.
The nurse blinked in surprise.
"Huh?"
She tried to move her finger slightly, but the tiny hand held it firmly.
"Wow… that's a pretty strong grip."
She laughed quietly.
"Or maybe I'm just too tired from doing overtime…"
She carefully lifted the baby into her arms.
"Alright, little one. Let's take you for a health checkup."
As she walked through the hallway, she looked down at the baby again.
Those golden eyes quietly stared back at her.
"They're really beautiful…" she murmured.
"Golden eyes… I wonder why."
Just then—
tap… tap…
Footsteps approached from behind.
Another nurse appeared.
"Oh! Is this the newborn everyone's talking about?" she asked excitedly.
"The one who was declared dead but suddenly came back alive?"
The young nurse nodded.
"Yeah, this is him."
The second nurse leaned closer to look at the baby.
"…Wow."
She smiled brightly.
"He's so cute!"
Then she laughed softly.
"After his checkup, I'm definitely going to play with him for a while."
The baby simply stared at them quietly…
his golden eyes shining faintly under the hospital lights.
As the nurses walked through the hallway with the baby in their arms, the hospital suddenly went quiet.
Then—

The lights went out.
For a brief moment, the entire corridor was swallowed by darkness.
"…Huh? Power cut?" one of the nurses said in surprise.
In that single second of darkness—
the baby's golden eyes softly glowed.
The faint golden light briefly illuminated the nurse's face.
"Did you see that—?" the second nurse gasped.
Before she could finish—

The lights came back on.
Everything returned to normal.
The baby quietly blinked…
and slowly closed his eyes, as if he had been sleeping the whole time.
The two nurses looked at each other in confusion.
"…Did something just happen?" one of them whispered.
The other shook her head uncertainly.
"Maybe it was just the sudden darkness…"
But neither of them felt completely sure.
Meanwhile, the baby rested peacefully in the nurse's arms.
As if nothing had happened.
