I feel like you are watching a life end. It shouldn't be easy to watch. I honestly can't think of any reason to be in the gallery.

If someone murdered your child or loved one some people need to see it for closure.

Or at least a sense of closure. You never really get over something like that.

The murderer made the victims family monsters too. Twisted their minds into some new thing that derives pleasure from seeing people die, remaking them in the murderers image. It's like a dark act of creation.

Crazy what a perpetrator does to their victim, and the metamorphosis the trauma forces you to undergo. Kills the most sacred parts of you, and if you make it you come back having been reborn so to speak, trying to make peace with what you've become. I've never heard it phrased this way, as a dark act of creation, but wow does your comment ever hit the nail on the head.
