Soul-eater Martin (tw for possibly disturbing ideas)

I'm not even sure what to warn this with. Soul-eating?

Don't judge me, this prompt has been nagging at my mind. It's really creepy, I suppose.

So: Martin eats souls for a living. When someone dies, their soul escapes their body and then eventually disappears, but it stays around for a few hours, lost. That's when Martin sweeps in. So Martin regularly hangs around the hospital, volunteering and looking after the elderly when he gets "hungry." He refuses to take live men/women's souls.

Someone at MJN (preferably Douglas) notices he takes a lot of trips to the hospital. One day they visit just to see what he does. Martin shows them around, helps some elderly and it bores them out of their mind. When they claim to leave, Martin breathes a sigh of relief and - just his luck - a woman dies a few doors down. He sees her soul floating through the hospital. The hallway is empty. No one is outside - instead focused on the woman. He cups the delicious little morsel in his hands and—

Whoever it is comes back and then they see Martin holding the soul (it appears to the human eye for the brief moment he holds it) and they - what; freak out? Are intrigued? Afraid? Do they accept him? End their friendship? You tell me! Happy ending are loved.

TLDR; Martin eats souls; someone at MJN catches him. Do they accept him? Are they afraid? You decide.


LONG PROMPT IS LONG. And I'm sorry, I don't even know. I don't know how to feel about this; I just needed it out of my system. This is a really, really crazy idea so I left the interpretation pretty loose; if anyone fills it, you may morph it to fit whatever you want. I'd just be happy to see it get filled.
