OT3s as intertwined as theirs can never stop needing one corner of their triangle. Without Jean, there would be no humour in the household at ALL, and even Aouda's quiet smiles would fade. They'd grow stiff and cold and a little frightened of one another, with no one there to willingly and eagerly bridge every gap and ford every river, however literal or metaphorical.
For the same reasons - Aouda/Passepartout alone wouldn't work because they'd be rather fluffily endearing but completely without any structure or backbone at all. They'd just sort of go faffing around the world pointlessly. They both need someone to adore and care for and tend to, someone to look up to and lean on. If Phileas weren't around, they'd spend all their time trying to do things for one another to no avail, and fall apart in a sad dust bunny at the end of their days.
and I wrote what would happen without Aouda already.

Awww. I am imparting this to him, because the silly, silly thing ought to know.
Of course we do.

The dust bunny of Aouda and Passepartout's lives without Phileas is a tragic thing indeed.
