There's a lot of angles to look at this for. One, why Irina would think Held wouldn't want Elluka coming in contact with a HER. It's a condition, not a contagious disease. The Venomania Event wouldn't have happened if she could HER up anyone that got to close to her.

Then there's Held claiming it's not about HER but something else. What is that something else? Is that the answer to Ma's identity? Is it what happened at Merigod Plataeu? If so, why didn't it happen when Irina confronted Elluka in Praefatio? Many questions there.

Then there's just the twin gods issue. If Elluka's a vessel for them, then what about her apparent obsession with H&G?

Held and Elluka also call the MGL the "evil" kingdom. Is it because of the out of control HER or something else? Elluka also reiterates that she caused its destruction through the Clockwork Secret Art although Act 1's booklet says Sin went out of control. She was dead during the incident so she's either assuming that's what happened or did something from beyond the grave imo.

Held's "era" is definitely the Second Period at least, although his claim that Levia-Behemo created the humans is odd. Is he hiding the fact Sickle exists?

The only thing that short story seemed to answer is where Elluka got the idea of saying that there are three people in the world that share the same appearance. XD
