The "torn portion" already exists when the wizard chooses to encase the torn portion. |

There is sense in what both of you are saying. Killing rips a soul, cannot deny that. The soul may be ripped but stays in the body as such, I think.
If a horcrux itself can be repaired through sincere repentance, why not a soul that is ripped but not separated into horcruxes?
