Like this is just one of the many examples of who Grayson is. He cannot understand normal emotions. He can't understand why someone would fight so hard to save an animal, he can't understand the fear of dying in a fire, and he can't understand why Chase would fear losing control. It's not an excuse, but that's Grayson's reality and why a lot of people hate him, because he doesn't understand why his actions hurt someone or even hurt himself.
Spoiler warning ahead.
Ultimately, he's just someone who needs to learn to understand but he doesn't do it because he can't even understand WHY he would need to change. When he finally observes Dane and learns to change, he finally understands that he has to do things he may not inherently find necessary but that he cares about. That's when he finally jumps in to save Dane's cat, because Dane cares about his cat more than anything and Grayson cares about Dane at that point. That's why Grayson leaves when his deal with Dane ends, because he realizes that staying and doing as he wants won't fix his mistakes with others. That's why he finally feels fear later on, because he's learned to care and understand emotions.
