SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]357Please respect copyright.PENANACumXHnb8Zc
Showcasing is a competition!357Please respect copyright.PENANAjskrePOG47

357Please respect copyright.PENANAt40kIzlVWZ
CINDER357Please respect copyright.PENANACo0BWrtlag
(optimistic)357Please respect copyright.PENANAxyBaYWNhXB
Absolutely not!357Please respect copyright.PENANAJlJ4q7JDSj
I’ve been practicing every day ever since I fell in love with dancing.
357Please respect copyright.PENANAQ11STKcQSb
SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]357Please respect copyright.PENANACeQDzVr5BD
Those who enter the competitions are all trained from a young age.357Please respect copyright.PENANAZJax2drXaK
When did you start training?
357Please respect copyright.PENANAegpUtFOaGD
CINDER357Please respect copyright.PENANAP6tRnUh9WA
I am self-taught.
357Please respect copyright.PENANAk8gntkaueH

Let me tell you.357Please respect copyright.PENANAhQWzKtWWe0
Always plan realistically in life.357Please respect copyright.PENANA8qADIKrbH2
The real world is not a game where you can have a save point and start over when things go wrong.357Please respect copyright.PENANAon98bJupdD
Like how I chose to make and sell shoes357Please respect copyright.PENANAXYD3numcvr
because it’s what everyone needs every day.
357Please respect copyright.PENANAPzzziE7MvM
CINDER357Please respect copyright.PENANAK85NT5lHr2
And that is what differentiates us.357Please respect copyright.PENANA70Gxs6qzn3
Winning has always been secondary.357Please respect copyright.PENANAUkGPazNiaG
The thing that I love is dancing,357Please respect copyright.PENANAq6P7dW4XAj
I don’t need to be the first chair or have a solo to prove I’m worthy of doing the things I love.
357Please respect copyright.PENANAOaGPQL2VwG
SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]357Please respect copyright.PENANAiwwgzZZzwI

Championship should be your goal!
357Please respect copyright.PENANADWzzUADUW4
CINDER357Please respect copyright.PENANALTDYFteaOI
(optimistic)357Please respect copyright.PENANAyXOPhDpwl5
I disagree!357Please respect copyright.PENANAkrixc3B2Vn
What I am doing will neither deceive people nor tear apart the world.357Please respect copyright.PENANAzUE60lFxSV
Not everything in life has to be about being the best,357Please respect copyright.PENANASjTofHHYWX
and what’s so great about being the best if you’re not even happy?
357Please respect copyright.PENANAKO9tKwt5hP
SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]357Please respect copyright.PENANAKtkdODHbZJ
(disbelieve)357Please respect copyright.PENANAS7HnhnMZCP
Being the best itself is happiness!357Please respect copyright.PENANANkGRx3GPQJ
Being the best brings you power and glory.
357Please respect copyright.PENANAk1tg0EQG8s
CINDER357Please respect copyright.PENANActEf3HUvGV
I am just a dancer,357Please respect copyright.PENANA6IcDDIkTqX
I don’t need to change the world.
357Please respect copyright.PENANAYjdBKJwgUb

357Please respect copyright.PENANAYPAmFuPtZ0
SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]357Please respect copyright.PENANAAbTwrNuAGV
(profound)357Please respect copyright.PENANAv6MVmlNuP2
You’ll need this too.357Please respect copyright.PENANARZC74UEnhD
See this, this is what I said everyone needs shoes every day.357Please respect copyright.PENANAuj4sn0xYNl
You could get hurt walking around barefoot.
357Please respect copyright.PENANA8xpDIjzhKD
ALYSSA took the shoe from SHOPKEEPER [SHOES] and smiled brightly at SHOPKEEPER [SHOES].
357Please respect copyright.PENANAUbXTH1UVan
ALYSSA357Please respect copyright.PENANA0AE6GiDhTe
