Eric had been walking home from his last day of school when he wandered into an antique shop. It wasn't the kind that was full of expensive china and flower vases. This shop was filled with strange and mysterious artifacts. Eric had wandered to the back, where there were three objects sitting on a purple velvet cover atop an old table. There was a small gold coin, a silver necklace with a large pendant and a mysterious crystal ball. Appearing mysteriously from behind him, the shopkeeper had told him that those three objects were instruments of hypnosis possessing varying levels of power. He also told him that he could pick one of them to take home for free in hopes of generating more business. Eric was not one to say no to free stuff, so he collected the gold coin from the table and slipped it in his pocket. Eric was now home. The shopkeeper had explained to Eric how to work the coin. Eric was by no means convinced it would work, but he didn't have anything to lose by trying. So when his sister, Whitney came into his room, he decided he would test it out on her.
"Hey Whitney, check this out." said Eric
"What is it?" asked Whitney
Eric held up the coin and flipped the latch. The coin began spinning rapidly in his hand. Whitney was quickly entranced.
Eric sat her down in his desk chair.
"The chair you are sitting in is your Treatment Chair. If I ever say to you "would you like a treatment", you will reply "yes please" and follow me back here and sit in this chair. While in the chair I will be able to dictate the person you will be when you get out of the chair. Any change I make to you will only be reversed if while in this chair I say "restore factory settings", which will revert you to normal. You will wake up and only remember sitting down in the chair for what you intended to be a short nap." commanded Eric
He put away the coin and Whitney shook her head.
"Thanks for the treatment, Eric. I haven't slept that well in a while." said Whitney
She got up from the chair and left the room.
What should Eric do now?
