I was waiting for my robot friend when a sleek stranger came up to me.
"Hi!" they said.
"Um... hi?"
"Oh, sorry."
My phone pinged with a text from my friend: "Body's in for service, this is a loaner."
"Oh!" I said. "Er... Is it nice?"
"Can't wait to go back. This is..."
"Not you?"
"Not me."

Your friend is cheap.
Get the loaner with morphic nanites and soul transference...
...I bet your "friend" still owes you that twenty you loaned them years ago.
@MicroSFF I wonder if there in rent-to-own for the bodies. Or reverse rental. Have an health/exercise guru work your body out, stock your house with a supply of healthy food your body learns to enjoy. Once the contract is up, they move on to changing the next life.

@becomingwisest I wrote a microstory about a demon offering that kind of temporary possession service, many years ago.
