Michael's Perspective (Reincarnated Soul):
The darkness is warm. Silent. Safe. I feel nothing and everything all at once. There are no shapes, no sounds, just a hum of familiarity I can't quite grasp. Then, a feeling. A weightless motion, like drifting in an ocean with no shore. I don't know where I am, but I can sense it's not where I used to be. It's as if I'm being pulled into a new body, a new life. The more I try to focus, the more I realize I'm not alone. I feel an echo of myself—a quiet, unknown existence, yearning to be seen, to be heard. It's strange. But it feels right. Then, the faintest light. A soft warmth.
I am being born again. A new life. A new chance.

Katherine Jackson's Perspective (Mother):
It's August 29, 1958, a day unlike any other. I am in the hospital room, surrounded by the quiet chatter of nurses, the soft beep of the machines, the rhythmic sound of my heartbeat. But none of that matters. My world narrows to one singular focus—this baby. My baby. Michael. I can feel him inside me, his tiny movements shifting, his presence growing stronger with every passing day. It's the anticipation of his birth, the excitement of what's to come, that fills the room.
The labor pains have started, and it's no surprise to me. I can feel it, I know it's time. He's ready. There's a strange sense of peace that washes over me as I begin to push, despite the pain. I close my eyes and whisper softly, "I can't wait to see you, my little one."
And as the moments pass, I feel his tiny hands and feet make their first movements in the world, making their mark on everything. The room is filled with quiet joy as he takes his first breath.

Joseph Jackson's Perspective (Father):
It's a different kind of fear, the kind a father feels when he watches his wife give birth. The room is tense, yet there's a subtle excitement, an undercurrent of something I can't explain. As a man, you're supposed to be strong, supportive—but in these moments, you feel utterly helpless.
I watch as Katherine breathes heavily, sweat dripping from her brow, her face contorted with effort. Then the doctor's voice breaks through the haze. "It's a boy." The words resonate in my mind. My son. Michael. I can't help but feel a sense of pride mixed with awe. He's here. My boy. A future that could be anything, anyone. I'll guide him, shape him. He'll grow strong.
But there's something else. Something unfamiliar, a sensation that stirs deep within me—a feeling I can't shake. Something about this boy feels different. I don't know it yet, but this moment, this birth, will change everything.

The Doctor's Perspective:
The room is filled with a mix of calm and intensity, as it always is during a birth. But there's something unusually serene about this one. The mother, Katherine, is steady and strong, the father, Joseph, stands by with a mixture of nervousness and pride.
As I guide the baby out, everything seems to fall into place perfectly. The little boy is healthy, his cries strong. This is just another routine birth. But I can't help but notice something. Something about the way he looks, something about his energy. I can't quite place it, but there's a glimmer of greatness in his eyes, a spark I've seen only in the few extraordinary souls I've met in my career.
This child is destined for something. I don't know what, but I can feel it. In all my years of practice, I've never quite encountered a newborn with such an intense presence.

The Nurse's Perspective:
I watch from the corner of the room, silently observing. Newborns come and go, but this one? This one is different. There's an unexplainable warmth in the room, almost like the baby himself is radiating something special. As I hand the baby to his mother, I can see the love in her eyes, and the joy in his father's. The bond is palpable.
But what strikes me the most is the baby's gaze. His little eyes, so young and new, but they seem to already hold so much wisdom, like he knows the world before he even opens his mouth. The future King of Pop, perhaps? I smile to myself, thinking it's too early to tell. But then, I wonder if I'll ever forget the day Michael Jackson was born.

Marilyn (The Midwife's Perspective):
There's a certain magic in every birth. But with this one, it feels like the air is charged with something more. When the baby first cries, it resonates with an energy I've never quite felt before. I look at his tiny hands and feet, his innocent face, and I can't help but think—he's special. I'm not sure how, but I know it. I've been at many births, and I've seen all sorts of children, but something about this one is different.
Maybe it's just the beginning, or maybe it's something deeper, but I have a strong feeling about this baby, Michael. He's destined for greatness. I'll remember this day forever.

As the hours pass, the world outside continues on, unaware of the miracle that has just occurred. The tiny newborn, Michael Jackson, enters the world not knowing that he has been reborn with a soul from another life. But the path ahead will be filled with music, struggles, and triumphs. For now, though, he is a baby—a blank slate, ready to write his own destiny.
