    ... well. Two..." Elli raised a second finger for the benefit of her online audience, "Two... I needed to share, I needed to tell someone and to be honest some of you have known me for years now, I kind of feel you are friends I just haven't met yet and it's good to share with friends. Finally, three." Elli raised a third finger, waggling them at the camera before cuffing at fresh tears threatening to spill forth.
    
    "Three... since my boyfriend, my ex-boyfriend, won't answer my calls or texts and I can see though that he has had the time to comment on my posted videos, I thought I might reach out to him this way. So, if you are watching... happy now? I am miserable and the world knows. Maybe this makes us even for me embarrassing you?" Elli began crying again, she turned away, hands on her face.
    
    "Jay," she sobbed. "Turn it off." Immediately the light on the camera blinked off.
    
    Elli stayed in the front of the van for a while. Her tears stopped flowing after a few minutes, only an occasional racking sob, hiccupping randomly from her throat, continued to flag her misery. After ten minutes, Elli heard the curtain being drawn, an arm reaching over blinding, the bottle in hand.
    
    "Thank you," Elli said hoarsely, taking the bottle from the black hand, watching as the arm withdrew, the curtains twitching closed once more.
    
    She allowed herself to wallow in self-pity for the remainder of the hour, sipping occasionally at the bottle, feeling the sharp edge of her sorrow become ...

    "Jay?"
    
    "Still alive then, are ya?" Elli felt a grin twist her lips slightly. She had found Deke the more charismatic of the two but there was something about Jay's irreverent, blunt nature that lifted her spirits at this moment.
    
    "Fuck you," she called back, hearing his snort of amusement at her reply.
    
    "What do you want now? You done stole all the good drink already," Jay said accusingly.
    
    "Hand me over the small blue bag, it should be near my coat," Elli said. She waited and listened as Jay, or Deke, scrambled through the items in the back, finally passing the bag through the curtain. Inside was wipes, tissues, make up.
    
    Elli spent a few minutes restoring her face. She couldn't do much about the reddened eyes but the rest she could fix. Done, she tossed the bag through the curtains, climbing after it, bottle in hand.
    
    Five PM to Six PM
    
    She landed over the other side of the seat in an undignified sprawl, the constant sampling of the Jaloviina taking its toll finally. Elli answered the grins of Jay and Deke with her own lopsided effort. There was a sliver of guilt within her for being so judgemental towards the two men at the start of the challenge, being creeped out somewhat by Jay and his porn for example.
