    Tammy materializes in the back corner of the bus, her translucent form barely visible in the harsh fluorescent lights. She's dressed in a neon pink top, acid-washed jeans, and her iconic, teased hair remains untouched by time. She looks around, a lost expression on her face.

    A young college student, wearing a vintage band tee and headphones, notices Tammy's reflection in the window. "Hey, who are you?" he asks warily.

    Tammy turns to him, relief in her eyes. "I'm Tammy. I'm just trying to get home," she answers, her voice echoing strangely.

    The bus jostles over a pothole, and a flicker of annoyance crosses Tammy's face. "This is really messing up my hair," she mutters, running a ghostly hand through her teased strands. "I just want to find my parents and move on. All these years on the bus and I never get anywhere."
