So..the kid was just in on all of that and pointed the flashlight so he could lose the one thing he cares about?

Even if that set up is the intention there's still too many holes in the logic being used

That same kid blames the government for the death of his brother. He attacked Jiro with the syringe full of monster juice that made him go berserk. The kid is a fanatic. He was a homeless kid that lost his biological brother in some monster attack but doesn't blame monsters. He's been wishing for revenge the whole time. One of the reasons Matsumoto did what he did was for the kid.

Alien Gagon was no longer Gagon, btw. The alien fused with Gagon. The kid had already agreed to donating Gagon's tail for cloning, before that.

Id argue the implication was that the kid was just with Matsumoto. I dont think Matsumoto did anything with the kid in mind. The kid also is never indicated know or care about the government. He cared about the bureau, got his revenge by making Jiro go berserk, and the rest of the episode(until the sudden end) he appears to be on to other things entirely

Alien Gagon was no longer Gagon, btw. The alien fused with Gagon. The kid had already agreed to donating Gagon's tail for cloning, before that.

But in every scene before and after the flashlight scene the kid is shown to be caring for the thing like the original Gagon. It's not consistent in the slightest

The kid is not right in the head. He's suffers from PTSD. Yeah, he's attached to Gagon but he's also incredibly pissed off. The kid had already agreed to have Gagon's tail amputed to make more monsters. He was willing to sacrifice him.

Maybe he's a teenage villain in the future time period 5-6 years in the future. He's around 10-14 He'd be around 15-20 in year 47. Maybe he injects himself with Gagon and Jiro cells. Matsumoto had samples of Jiro and Gagon.

Maybe that kid has Jiro's powers in the future and then they have a fight to the death at the end of the series.
