Charon expected Aesop to respond kindly to him and tell him that he was very sorry for his loss, but unfortunately no such thing happened. Charon didn't understand why, because he didn't ever remember telling the (or, well, a version of the) sad story of his broken childhood and fallen apart family and not receiving heartfelt apologies and hugs in physical or verbal form.

Instead Aesop said that Charon had to be lonely, and then asked if he could tell a secret. Charon didn't really like how Aesop made this all about him; this was sorta his spotlight moment, even if it was for a sad reason, and now Aesop was going off and stealing it. "Sure," Charon said and he looked at Aesop. He realised he was actually growing curious for Aesop's secret, even though he was still kind of frustrated over his stolen spotlight.
