Hmmm. Mostly Elliot feels like that, in knowing Vincent's past, he can understand better Vincent's detachment toward him. Combined with the fact that maybe the Nightrays WEREN'T ALL THAT WELCOMING, and Vincent was apparently treated like a curse for his young life, and it makes more sense that maybe Elliot just never became someone he cares about or trusts. Elliot has thought about it in those exact terms, because he can't really understand 'not caring about family', and to HIM Vincent is 100% family. BUT the way his death went has always troubled Elliot a bit and those pieces add a bit of "oh, I can kind of get it" and because he's Elliot he doesn't really need more than that to shrug his shoulders, nod. and move forward.

He will never bring it up unless it is relevant. He can under that it is shameful and unpleasant and wouldn't ask Vincent or Gilbert to talk about it unless necessary. So he will just kind of be MORE OKAYISH with Vincent? Probably more himself. Buuuut also still somewhat on guard because he doesn't really know where he stands with Vincent himself.
