The majority of us are shaped by the society and culture we grow up in. We are shaped by our family, our religion, the law. Society will influence your behaviour, because whether consciously or not, we feel pressured to comply with social expectations. The rules that have been laid out for us. Popular culture (such as films and media) generally presents content that is within the bounds of existing moral codes instead of creating them. So unless our family has an entirely opposite view to the general population we live amongst, we are unlikely to form morals that differ from our society.
This brings us to Him. He is as universally relatable as possible. He is the control variable, the "normal". The one to base the other characters on, to see how far their morals stray from our own.
When Avery tells him about herself, you may ask yourself "could I accept someone who does such things? If I loved them?" Your immediate answer may be no - but use a real example. Your brother, your mother, your children. Could you absolutely, categorically declare that you would turn your back on them? There is no right answer. People who were friends or relatives of killers all had very different reactions - no two are the same. We can't know how our affection for someone might influence our perception of morality.
