Goddamn, Harostar, that was beautifully written.

You're entirely right, of course. Jean, Connie and Sasha represent the everymen, if nothing else, and the everymen are without a doubt the heart of any tale. Jean has the most noticeable character arc of any character; he's gone from being an egotistical foil to someone who sees that there are more important things than what he wants. Losing that, and/or the other two, will certainly be a loss of what little hope/soul the series has left.
