That {sei} insertion, since it takes place within the quote, can be
ascribed to the very origin of the quoted utterance, to the utterer of
{mi krici}, such that:

"I believe, as he said, that blah blah blah."

as opposed to

"I believe", he said, "that blah blah blah."

Adding {sa'a} to {sei} would help distinguish the latter from the former.
