Vanitas doesn't really embrace the concepts of empathy and compassion. He hadn't been taught such things. There hadn't been anyone around to teach him and by now even though he knows of them... Well he can't afford to practice them. No one had ever given him any compassion when he had needed it. Besides, those ideas hadn't served him before and it's unlikely they can serve him now.
"I'm not your friend," Vanitas adds. Not really their enemy now either, but he doesn't say that. "In fact I'm fairly certain that I'm everything you loathe and despise."
So why even bother showing him any of these things at all? It doesn't benefit anyone.
