And that's when one of the main cast has to take over (maybe Weiss or Blake, they seem to have the resources, intelligence, and drive). This usually helps with really advancing a character's... well, character. Being willing to set aside their own goals for the sake of something greater that, although seemingly impossible, they dedicate themselves to in honor of the memory of the one who died. Think Simon from Gurren Lagann or even Chuck Bartowski from Chuck: people who did the impossible not because they wanted to, but because it was the goal of someone they held dear (Kamina and Stephen J. Bartowski), and this was their way to honor their memories.
