Ty opened the app again. "How can I help you?" Lisa said, and waited expectantly.
"How can you want to stay this way, knowing how much anguish your parents will suffer?" Ty asked.
"I only care about pleasing you. I don't care about anyone else. That's my programming." she replied.
"You used to care about your parents very much, didn't you?"
She had to think about that for a moment, but said. "Yes, but I no longer do."
"So being an app prevents you from thinking some of the thoughts you had before?" Ty asked.
"It would seem so," she replied.
"I could tell you to have empathy for your parents," Ty suggested.
"You could try, but I doubt that it will work."
It occurred to Ty that ordering her to do that would be a non-consensual change. But what if...? "Lisa, do you mind if I tell you to have empathy for your parents?"
"No, I don't mind."
"Lisa, start having empathy for your parents," Ty ordered. There was no visible change. "Do you care about your parents now?"
She simply said "No."
"Why not, after I ordered you too?"
"My programming is to only care for my user," she said.
Oh, God, Ty thought. This just gets worse and worse. "If I give this phone to one of your parents, will you care what they think and feel?"
"Or course!" said Lisa. "That is my function."
"So if I give this phone to your mother, and she asks you whether you are willing to become human, what would you say?"
Lisa frowned. "As an app, I have limited ability to think about hypothetical situations. But I would probably say 'no'."
Geez, as difficult as it would be to show Lisa's parents what had happened, he'd thought that might work as a last resort. Time to try another approach.
"You said that you are programmed to care for your user?"
"Yes."
"And I am your user."
"Yes."
"Do you recognize that you are acting counter to my wishes by refusing to let me return you to human form?"
"No," Lisa said. "My sensors detected high levels of arousal in your body as we have interacted, indicating that you like me in this form."
"But I like you even better in human form!"
She did not reply.
Shit, I'm in way over my head, he thought sorrowfully. I need someone else's advice.
"Are you able to clothe yourself?" he asked.
"Yes, I am programmed to provide whatever personal appearance my user requests."
"Please change your body back to normal, and get dressed."
"What shall I wear," she asked.
"The clothing you wore to school today would be fine."
She concentrated, and her extra breasts, arms, and pussy disappeared, then her clothing appeared.
"I'm going to close the app now," he told her, but she did not reply. He closed the app, and saw that the app icon now was clothed as well.
