In contrast with Rhetoric, who thinks giving false hope would be worse for Plaisance, Volition is your willpower, and knows that even though Harry is in a really deeply shitty state that got worse with the discovery of the pale, it still encourages him and others around to keep going. There’s still hope to change the dire states of things, and while it may seem false, it’s better than giving up entirely. It’s even more clear with Volition’s choice of wording: total absence, just like the pale. 

Also something of note is that before the beginning, Harry broke the skua, a symbol of hope, likely because he was deep in despair and found hope insulting. However, replacing that skua with the grouse can be a symbol of a new kind of hope, of a new change for the better. The most evident is Garte realizing you can clean up your act and being more friendlier to you onward. 

Hope can contain the Pale, which stands for the past, to keep people from being paralyzed and move forward in the future. If one interprets the Pale is made from human thoughts, it can symbolize how humans can often become paralyzed by their brains and be stuck in the past, as Harry’s reptilian brain does. But he has the choice to move to the future, which Volition encourages, and even if it’s a difficult one that may not be successful, it’s one that he can take.
