Sometimes, I think, authors tend to get attached to a character and not realize they need to just leave them be after their one send off, or make them too prominent so that they start taking over the story(see: lots of shounen manga) or are blind to their faults (see: ERAGON.)

While I don't really object to reading more about Locke and Jean, I'd rather read more about the city than them in another place.
