Xiao is an ordinary guide. The only special thing about him is that he will always be reborn in another universe after death.
However, Shaw is not that ordinary for the universes he has traveled through.
After all, he is the only guide in the world.
And nothing is easy. The PTSD of New York's richest man is a desolate battlefield in the spiritual landscape of America's sweetheart. Oh, and Arkham. The legendary land is filled with violent sentries. For personal safety, Xiao has to go to sort out their spirits once a week. The return rate of Gotham criminals has dropped off a cliff.
"Mr. Xiao, have you ever considered finding a new job?"
"No. I don't want to be the director of a lunatic asylum. Thank you," Xiao said.
"That's it, Mr. Dean, I wish you a happy job." Gotham Baby patted his shoulder vigorously.

"Some people have more than one spirit animal around them. This is because when those who love them deeply or are deeply loved by them leave, their spirit animals will stay and continue to accompany them."

"You have to trust your psychiatrist, Bruce. ... You have to trust the guide."
