Because at lvl 1, the MC isn't directly in contact with his Numbered Parent(the 4th or 3rd). When you reach lvl 2, you're fully linked to them as their "chosen" making whatever Ella tried to do in the first dead end, with the 4th, impossible now. They would most likely reject her, if it was about redistributing his power to her or if they wanted his power themselves. Since you know they're linked to him and know all of his abilities at lvl 2.Why would it be the reason for 2 bad ends earlier, if that exact ability doesn't matter at all when she reaches her 5th evolution?
First time she hands you over to "the memory", second time she just kills you... What is sure is she does not need you alive for her plans, whatever they may be. It makes sense handing you over for that skill hasn't changed... And both times you were the one that exposed yourself, both times she had no idea about your skills....
It being the reason for 2 earlier Dead Ends doesn't mean it'll remain the reason, unchanged, throughout. Ella not knowing his abilities at lvl 1 and killing him or taking him to the 4th, if she finds out, might not even be viable now that he's fully acknowledged as their spawn at lvl 2. Also just because she didn't hunt him down to kill him at lvl 2, doesn't mean she doesn't know he has those abilities. It could easily mean her plans have changed.
Don't get me wrong, his memory power is still special. I'm just saying I don't think it's of great importance to Ella now. Both parties, Ella and the Numbered, know he has these abilities now since he's used them openly and is deeply connected to the other. If Ella wanted it, it's now unlikely because she can't gain anymore traits at her final evolution. If the Numbered wanted it, they already have it and know they do, making Ella's quest for it completely irrelevant now. In both cases, the Numbered wouldn't help Ella there, if they're needed, because the MC is their chosen since reaching lvl 2 and she's a failure.
