Splanchnophilia (a mental illness of having sexual desire to internal organs) is the focus of this look, it’s the “sin” added to the story. When we turn someone into a sexual object, we are denying their intrinsic value and cut them down into something that’s closer to death. People who have the disease are attracted by the glossiness of the organs, just like other human beings who are attracted by the reflections of diamonds. That’s why materials that have a sheen texture are used to make the scene even more vivid.
