I understand where you're coming from, and I sympathize with you.

But people have had their souls ripped out, with twenty-four hours to live. How many are there? How many MORE will there be?

I encourage you to find her first. IF you can snap whatever's got its claws in her.

Otherwise, you don't want ANYTHING finding her. How many hours are left before someone dies? Before someone else loses their tamer? Their friend?

There's a ticking clock, and when time runs out, you either need a cure, or you need to be prepared for whatever comes next.
