"Now I know something's wrong with me," he said, "when you're the one worried about taking it too fast." It was a lie--he'd known something was wrong with him before, so that wasn't exactly in question. In any society he could think of, he'd be libeled as a pervert or slapped on the back as lucky, so it was laughable that he was the one having to be coaxed. "I think it's just the way things go," he murmured. "At no point in my life has anything happened slowly. It's a snap, a flick of a switch, changing everything."
