To be honest, I didn't hear crying there, only laughter...And who was really at the bedside of the dying Alexander - this is a separate topic for discussion, which all of you here have already discussed many times...(and never came to a consensus). So I'll leave it aside for now, otherwise we'll get into a new round of discussion about Alessa and "Agent Olivia" again...

Yes, I agree, all dialog is important, including the conversation between the "ninja"Veronica and Callista/Gambit Queen.
But it's a little different here...Tess wrote a sentence in her extended reply about Veronica's identity, so I was interested to make sure I hadn't missed it before. I made sure I hadn't missed that sentence, but I confess I hadn't given it much thought or just thought it was unimportant (until I read Tess's response today (in
Q&A , Question 13 )..
But in light of this "new old" knowledge we get a really unpleasant picture, telling us that Alexander Karlsson committed some kind of act (possibly an act of violence, whatever that means) towards his own child, Veronica, which,
among other things, influenced the formation of her personality and withdrawn character..
