She weeps because when she started transforming, people were afraid of her. She's just scared and wants to be left alone.

Because it's a video game. And it sounds creepy. Same reason evil children are creepy in horror movies. It's a noise you can recognize & a warning. The same reason the smoker coughs and the boomer glurps.

Because it's fucking creepy, why else?
But in a more actual response, I would say it's because witches are infected that have retained some of their human thought and emotion, thus why she cries and then is horrified with herself when she kills a survivor.
That makes a lot of sense. Nice description.
Thanks very much, part of me hoped someone would like that.

there was a thread about it. the idea was tossed around that she had her period while the infection started, and the infection changed her to a witch. boomer = alcohol/or high fat. smoker = nicotine/or cancer. hunter = crack cocaine/or high testosterone. tank = steroids. not sure its true though but its the best theory i've heard reguarding the subject. i can't come up with a witty remark to finish the post off with, though.
That's actually a very interesting theory. It'll fall to pieces though when L4D2 is out. Unless someone gets very creative.

For those wanting the bigger comic.
interesting

It looks like the others were infected before witch it looks like they are going to rape her in the last panel
The comic makes quite the good theory, but we would have to ask valve for the real reason, everything else is technically just speculation and theory.

Guess we'll never truly know, although there seems to be two obvious favorite choices.
Is that witch the little girl?
It seems that not only is the little girl the witch, but the four with her become the other four special infected. So her friends and family are dead and no longer there to protect her.

I actually like to think of it as a survival mechanism. (stay with me here, i know she's a zombie)It's her preditory MO. The hunters stalk, the big guys smash, the fast normal ones swarm mob mentality style,and she uses her frailty to lure food.I think maybe she does retain particulate memory, but just enough to remember how emotions effect others a.k.a food, so she cries to lure them. That being said, maybe she was empathic/psychic when alive? I don't know but I like to think of it sort of this way for some reason.
