Sadly, he doesn't find any support, and slowly loses his sanity. At the final point, he's cornered to the bridge. When one man boldly steps up to the armed man to show his empathy, the irony comes forth, and the man has already fallen to his death. He catches a glimpse of the bold man's eyes and the empathy they contained before he falls.
That's what I interpreted as well. Only after the second reading, though. I was thoroughly confused the first time I think I didn't notice the time shifts at first. WHich I find pretty stupid of me now

But I agree different interpretations are always great, even - or maybe especially - when they differ from the original 'meant to be' message.
