cycledsingularity*MAJOR SPOILERS SO MANY* While those sensitive to it might pick up that Mono has killed, the REAL thing to note is that Mono is directly involved in the collapse and decay of his own reality.
The long and short of it is: In Pale City there is a tower broadcasting a signal that brainwashes people to only stare at TVs to the point of complete physical and mental deterioration. Once a viewer has withered away, a man in the TV comes out and steals all that is left of them. The signal is so influential, the matter of world itself has unnaturally stretched to get closer to the tower. It is Mono's fate to become both that signal and that man.
The tower itself is a living entity that exists on a different plane of reality, by trapping Mono there it uses his powers to broadcast to the past, present and future simultaneously to continue to feed. The creation of this paradox signal results in a timeloop in which Mono is continuously lured from the past by himself and doomed to fail and be recaptured again and again; unlike him, the people stolen by the man in the TV do not return during each loop. With so many already dead in the game's playthrough, in enough loops Mono may be the only 'person' left.
Though just a child now, by existing as the broadcast signal (his future anguish) and the Man in the TV (his doomed form after being forcibly warped by the tower) impossibly all at the same time, Mono is just as responsible for the decline of his world.
Anyone sensitive to sensing death or anomalies of time will likely register how unnaturally corrupted he is.
Especially now that Mono is free from that cycle enough to start to remember past iterations.
