Well, I don't think it quite works that way. As I understand it, we arrive here by some other means... like pulling a plug on a drain, we all just sort of get flushed into this world from all these different places. Apparently the Malnosso just put us in the barrier because we're 'special' or something. I'm not sure how that relates to the cycle though, but it probably has something to do with those marks they put on the back of our necks.
