So, here's the deets: Mack's boss is a demon who has been slowly consuming his soul. It's much more useful to his boss to slowly eat multiple peoples' souls, rather than to consume them all at once. Think of it like, maintaining capital while withdrawing some out of the bank every month.

The problem is, well, sucking Mack's soul out slowly has had some... detrimental side effects. He's basically slowly becoming a wraith. His heart stopped, he doesn't really breathe much at all, and the only one who notices in the office is Jeremy.

Jeremy is one of the only people in the office who can actually see the supernatural. To others, Mack is just a very tired, possibly chronically ill man.

To Jeremy, yes, he's clearly chronically ill, but he can also see signs that Mack isn't human anymore. Streaks of darkness coming off his body like an aura, or perhaps, his face being shrouded in darkness, as some examples.

Jeremy is not too please with how nobody seems to listen or understand when he tells them - Mack is a GHOST or something, for crying out loud!

Eventually, though, he realizes that even if Mack comes off as especially scary to him, the man is actually quite sweet. Just a little... dead. Literally. But he gets better!

As you can see, eventually, Mack manages to kill his boss, and when he does, a large part of his soul is returned to him. He turns mostly human again after some months, perhaps years of healing.

Anyways, thanks for reading my rambling!
