Things don't add up, the promise and the mark are ominous. I think she was the easiest pawn for him to gain control of, if heart break wasn't the key, they sure focused on it a lot.

Of course it would have been better for her to resist when Mykage was taking her over, but this isn't what all possessed characters tend to do in fiction. Nope, they need to gather their resolve and fight them off. She may be able to take the opportunity to show Mykage what he's lacking.

Not showing her at all is a real bad handling if she was going to be able to do this on her own, especially with Alicia's death on "her" hands. You also make it sound like Mykage's "missing" something, and that just skirts the issue and makes him seem rather shallow. Touma and Mykage have been pissed off for 24000 years about betrayal, lies, the destruction of Atlandia, and a broken heart. His wrath is pretty justified by this point, and I don't think him letting go of Apollonius will:
(1.) Rebuild Atlandia
(2.) Revive his dead people
(3.) Fix his anger at being lied to about Pollon.
And if it did, that'd just be hilariously bad writing and genuine character assassination. He can sympathize with Zessica but that doesn't mean that she somehow holds the magic key to fixing him. That's not in the cards and the only person who can do that is the person who started it all, Apollonius.
Not to mention that this is all extremely hypocritical of Pollon and Celianne who
caused this mess. Pollon not being able to let go is what ruined Touma's atonement and brought about Mykage in EVOL, and Celianne's been riding the train for 24,000 years and never letting go either. Wouldn't it be much better to have them fix Mykage? Why do they get ignored in this and get free passes?
What's the aesop? If you're the main characters, clinging to love for 24,000 years is A-OK! But if you're the villain and/or someone unrelated to reincarnations, its not? What sort of story is that?
Wasted potential is every character in this show.
But no one's been assassinated, closest is Mikono with how just osculates back and forth between two completely different roles.
