While the crying could mean nothing it can mean something also, until it's actually revealed what they're crying about it's all just speculation, and as I said above I don't think it's because anyone dies. Also if any FT members were to die it would be one of the lesser members like Macao and Max, not one of the more prominent ones like Cana, Gajeel, Levy etc.
