Servant of Evil's lyrics DO imply that Allen killed Michaela which we all know isn't the case, and Conchita's song does a terrible job getting the BaniCarlos thing across since obviously it wasn't written yet. It's actually pretty likely that mothy's changed details in the process of actually writing the Enbizaka story, especially since he hasn't touched it at all up until SC&P.

Maybe when mothy first wrote the song he intended for them to be complete strangers, but perhaps since then he changed it to "vaguely know each other". I don't know, let's wait for someone to post novel details.

Edit: Of course, this is just me reading into it too much. The results are the same either way. That's the thing with SoE, though: it IMPLIES it. Which means it's not necessarily true. I can IMPLY a lot of things, but ou assuming it's true is on you and can lead to a case of mistaken perception. A lot of narratives rely on this for surprise twists. That doesn't make them bad, either.

Also, Conchita's song seemed less like it was from Conchita's actual perspective and more about the legend surrounding her.

Mothy's a master of misdirection, but he's rarely outright contrdicted himself in his actual writing in the series aside from Abandonment.
