Huh. That ending's even bleaker than it looks, isn't it?

The protagonist dies thinking he's moving things towards a better world, but from the way the company runs, it seems likely that HOPE knows about Monster Syndrome and is encouraging it to ensure they'll always have an enemy to point at.

Ironically, HERO was more of a threat than he ever could be as a monster. Even if no-one ever did anything about his complaints (and from how the pilot poo poo-talked him, it seems that at least a few people higher up were lightly sweating), just knowing they're not alone would help other workers keep going. And that isn't the goal.

The factory's main product isn't the laser parts. It's monsters.

Well thats the HOPE mech's head hes holding, so hes kind of "won", at the cost of becoming a crow kaiju.

and re: HOPE knowing, you could also read it as they dont know or dont care to know, what are externalities, who cares, get back to work peon, dont you know a monster is coming.
I prefer the more banal reading that it isnt a conspiracy.

I guess they have no concept of air traffic control because that plane should never have been near that site
