Official locked tomb theory: (spoilers obviously)

Alecto is the afterlife, it's her job to love & guide every soul

This is why she loves you, & john, this is why she surrounded every soul so loudly that john couldn't even make them out

When that nun killed herself, he triggered the bombs bc he needed more deaths to see her, to get to her ("Gideon was already dead anyway")

She was angry bc he killed 10 billion of her souls, & he was scared at the realization of her anger

When he took control of her, he took control of the river, that's why no one moves on anymore (as Abigail suggested, they're completely ignoring souls ability to move on, John wants to be able to bring anyone back when ever he wants) this is why he can build in the river, & why it's so polluted (think on the theme of the world ending originally bc of pollution (climate change) this reflects that same thing, carried on by john)

She was originally called AL bf Alecto gained popularity, if I'm right, AL stands for afterlife
