Hospital staff find a mysterious egg beside a newborn and prepare to discard it as medical waste. The doctor orders immediate genetic screening and treatment, but the mother insists on finding the child's absent father first. Tina, the frightened child, pleads not to be tested; the mother apologizes and promises to find a cure if the father can't be located, while Tina vows to confront him if she ever meets him. With the doctor pressing that treatment cannot wait, the mother must choose—yet she prepares to leave for her first day at Dragon Group, decision unresolved.
