I get where you are coming from with Doll and Jae, both lost their closest people and suffered/fought for nothing in the end (J having no choice and her win or loss being irrelevant since DDs are little more than entertainment for Cyn who can solo anything really///Doll getting V pinned twice and then jobbing to Nuzi/V plotarmor and finally losing her body and mental autonomy), Alice's tragedy is not very connected to other people (as directly) but imo that doesn't detract from its 'quality'
After all she didn't get a choice either (like all subjects), but her survival of the core collapse (likely luck due to being in CC for repair at the time but we dunno) didn't just leave her alone among corpses and raptors, it also made her disdain for Nori thrive due to Nori being a bitch in Alice's eyes, having killed everyone she knew (again, we don't know if there was anyone like Tessa or parnets for Alice, likely not, however themes like her face damage implies regular repairs that explain her skill and knowledge of drones in the first place and could even in CFL evoke a certain fondness for those who patch her up [especially if those aren't AS or Nori eho caused it in the first place] again, bit far flung but reasonable and Alice naming this in 6 makes that more meaningful imo) and directly causing this hellscape she's in.
That's one part of it all and the events of 6 just make it worse, over the years she culled like 90% of DDs and so deliberately or not did everybody else a massive favour, just to decide to risk live-capture for a mixed squad and eventually lose everything due to being curious and getting emotionaly invested/hurt(also too soft and naive, YES).
While everything in canon points to Alice remaining alive Beau is still dead which makes any possible continuation of her story ultra angsty and tragic.
