Summary
“I still don’t remember. And King or Kon-ich or whatever else it is doesn’t sound like my name, so…” He waves a flippant hand, then seems to recede into himself, tucking the jacket closer around his broad shoulders. It hardly fits. Arthur can recall seeing a myriad of strange scars across his bare chest before he had been offered proper clothes.
Both Parker and Arthur are quiet too, for a bit. Arthur sighs and scratches at his stubbled chin. “Well. I suppose John Doe will have to do for now, won’t it?”

Summary
After the loss of his daughter, Arthur turns to reanimation in the hopes of bringing Faroe back from the dead. But when he brings his first John Doe to life as a test run, he realizes that what he has created is not a person—it’s a monster. Devastated, Arthur loses himself to his grief and allows John to flee into the night, sinking back into alcoholism under the care of his friend and partner, Parker. But when John reappears a few months later and kills Parker, just as Arthur is recovering from his crisis, he and Arthur become intertwined. John must discover what it means to be human in a world that offers both incredible kindness and incredible cruelty, and Arthur must come to terms with what he has done and whom he has created.
