But we can understand in terms of seventeen thought moments in Abhidhamma.
I know you are not a fan of Abhidhamma.
In Abhidhamma there are certain Citta does not complete the whole thought process.
So they perhaps vanish even before they have a major impact on you.
But they still will be recorded in your mind.
