Because they all are ;) Each citizen is either a former traveling companion or a close relative born from their union, and each of them decided to share his life of their own free will, which ultimately makes them all equally important and precious to him.

It is worth noting that Lawrence is a highly ubiquitous being, both mentally and physically (see the crystal prism metaphor), so he's ideally suited for nurturing many fulfilling relations.

Seira is special due to being his first sentient creation, his first permanent companion and his only subordinate among citizens. Her role in Selforge City is to offer this irreplaceable motherly touch, this is so fitting in a family-like society entirely focused on the well-being and fulfillment of its every member, and she is the primary interlocutor for citizen matters.

She works in a purely non-hierarchical way, caringly assisting and providing in their daily life through her symbiotic relation with the city, with trust and confidence in place of authority.

This delegated and smooth management makes relations comfortably informal, avoiding the "God-Emperor" syndrome that could be felt as oppressing despite the best intentions.

Leina on the other hand is a typical immigrating citizen, meeting Lawrence during his travels and eventually joining his world after a rather close and passionate relation ^ ^ In this, she is more a symbol than a special case, beautifully illustrating the personal path to citizenship.
