We know that Living Memory prioritizes reconnections, lost loves and family, stuff like that, so... what does happen to someone who didn't have them? Are they dropped into Canal Town completely alone, surrounded by people who already know each other, like turning up to a reunion you aren't invited to? Or are they never brought back, eternally at the bottom of Living Memory's priority list because it's always going to be more important to reunite siblings, spouses and best friends?
I do agree on those points. I would have hoped that Cahciua more firmently states that this is actually something she's discussed with all the residents and that it's ok to shut them down. But from what we see is people who really are enjoying their lives and we are just inserting our own beliefs onto them. Yes it's a difficult decision, yes Sphene has delivered and ultimatum, we have to do this. But I was firmently hoping atleast someone, either Erenville or G'raha Tia who is somewhat of an expert on dimensional things would at bare minimum entertain an alternative option or suggest somehting else. And I get there ISN'T an alternative option, Krile's parents and Cahciua say this, but I would still hope G'raha at the ery least try and find a solution. He quite literally had no purpose being with us.

To answer the question it's not that those who fall through the cracks would find themselves surrounded by people who have connections no. There should be almost equal amount of people who had connections and those that didn't and the people who didn't might find new found love or hope as a memory with a person who also didn't find connections in their lives. It's not that the system ONLY brings in people who made connections, the system just connects those who were connected already in life. I don't think there's a priority system more than there is just a long line of people who have died. We do see soul containers, but not really how the memories are managed and if it's just the order of which the people have died and become memories?
