At least for Ma, I personally think it’s a likely headcanon that she is Irina and Elluka combined (or if not combined, at least in the same body struggling to achieve dominance or something like that.)

It would not be related to whether or not they were together before, it would more be a result of both of them having this power to enter different bodies and/or Irina’s ability to dominate bodies as mediums. El luka has already shared a body with Gumillia, which seems in Praeludium to have given the girl noticeable behavioral differences even if Elluka was not the dominant personality. Irina may be a dominant personality of Ma with some of Elluka’s behavioral differences; she already has a history of being 'The Ma' in Levianta (different pronunciation and usage, but still) and of adopting aliases.

That, or my other theory is Ma being Elluka possessed by the Demon of Vanity. Ehh.

For Blood-Stained Switch: the song, rather than being about the girl, could have just been the “image song” for HER Syndrome, displaying its worst case manifestation, treatments, and impact on those it affects. In which case it’s irrelevant when it takes place, like with Master of the Graveyard’s titular song. It might place in Levianta before the Fire Disaster, though, judging by the mention of “Clockworker medicine” and whatnot.
