When you don't retreat before Cofagrigus, it seems a little surprised. But your innate terror increases by great leaps and bounds as a portion of the coffin's headpiece slides open, expelling a burst of musky air and briefly revealing a dull light. A shadowy hand withdraws a mouldering ancient crown and briefly shows it to Shiva before hiding the treasure away again.

What does this mean? It can only mean Cofagrigus misses his kingdom.

Shiva is equally suprised by this Cofagrigus, it indeed doesn't seem so be so scary, ill-natured and dangerous as science always warns; at least not this exemplar. She even starts to feel sorry for it, for IT, an ominous and luckily very rare Unovian Ghost Type almost every other person would run away from. After having increased her grip on Spira's shoulder once more in a non-painful way to express thanks for letting her cling to him, she eventually lets go (but stays close to him).

"You miss your kingdom, do you....?", she more whispers in compassion than in fear, "I see. I can relate to that, it must be horrible to be the only one left - I'm sorry for what you had and have to endure, noble and precious Cofagrigus." Shiva's being very honest as she voices that, faces the grim spectral coffin directly even. "Is there...no way we, an innocent group of travelers on the search for artifacts, can help or redeem you, anything? Can't there be a way to reunite you with your kin?"

For example, via Toya 'delivering' him to the Ghost World? Shiva also blatantly hopes that her expressed sympathy softens Cofagrigus up or at least prevent him from becoming angry about being asked about these golden keys. No need to worry about that, yay!
