The Strange Phenomena

Daniel gently placed Greed on the bed, removing his clothes, and was about to continue when Greed suddenly pushed him away, hesitating.

"It's okay if you're not ready… I can wait," Daniel said with a comforting smile.

"No, it's not that… it's just that… I'm not pure. You're the first man I've loved, but… not the first that…" Greed began, but Daniel silenced her with a kiss.

They kissed for several minutes before Daniel pulled back. "Do you think I care about that?"

"I know… but I just wanted you to know. It's not by my choice… so…" Greed tried to continue, but Daniel gently pressed his finger to her lips, stopping her.

He didn't want Greed to continue explaining. The moment he realized it hadn't been her choice, a surge of anger welled up inside him. He feared that if he listened any further, he might not be able to keep his anger in check.
