That's assuming reincarnation doesn't circumvent the spirit visiting the Hellish Yard at all. H&G never mention their spirits having an afterlife between cycles. For all we know, reincarnating souls get thrown into some time-space dimension until the next point in the cycle; Behemo calculates this like an equation and Elluka's shown mapping out celestial bodies as if her ritual involves astrology. Allen hearing the Lu Li La might've just been Sickle using a device to take Allen's soul out of the cycle to keep for himself as Irina implies.
