Personally speaking, I think Enrico Maxwells whole "I'm a big, domineering man" is a big facade.
He wants his bio father to be proud, to regret giving him up; how else to do that than putting on a mask? Yes, you totally know what you're doing, you're a leader, you're so very dominating and important and you totally believe that! It's not an easy task to literally become *your teachers boss*, aka your FATHER FIGURES BOSS. Imagine the power trip of being able to order around your own father figure. The man who did his best to raise you lovingly, to help you see you don't need to rely on people who don't care about you. And now you get to boss him around.
Has anyone actually told him they're proud of him? That they're so happy he's still here? That he's done so well to get to where he is? Probably not. Hell, let's be real, the only person who's probably said that to him is Anderson; would he even believe Anderson means it? His perception is so messed up of others, how would he?
A dominating narrative at the final battles is that demons don't cry. That when a human runs out of tears, they lose humanity or that it is their final cry for death.
Alucard cries because he still has humanity. Anderson doesn't cry because he is ready to die. The major doesn't cry because he is a demon, he is purely evil.
Maxwell does a different kind of cry- he cries out that he was born alone, he does not want to die alone. Underneath all of these layers, he's still a human. He doesn't want to die yet, nor has he become a demon.
Inside, he is still that same small child begging for the care and reassurance he so desperately needed. But if he knew that, then we wouldn't have such a tragic tale, would we?

i know we're all focused on the "i have love for you, edward" line but can we PLEASE talk about the "who am i to you?" exchange??? who am i to you? how do you perceive me as a part of your life? do you care for me the same way i care for you? am i just your rabid guard dog, eager to bark and bite for you and take a hit from you, loyal to a fault because any kind of attention from you means that your eyes are on me? i have love for you. i'm sorry
