355Please respect copyright.PENANA9bZQoRfYrV
CINDER355Please respect copyright.PENANAW5NSXXHKCn
(optimistic)355Please respect copyright.PENANArW7uyc9iU0
Absolutely not!355Please respect copyright.PENANAyVUAgfuQp1
I’ve been practicing every day ever since I fell in love with dancing.
355Please respect copyright.PENANAE3JFCwMmqq
SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]355Please respect copyright.PENANAi6AhNfgmPI
Those who enter the competitions are all trained from a young age.355Please respect copyright.PENANACQdWBrcf3n
When did you start training?
355Please respect copyright.PENANAgHgL8lw3Gj
CINDER355Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZMXBWOgQ1

355Please respect copyright.PENANApxFoXVxK7D
SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]355Please respect copyright.PENANAxsKJUfIAjD

Let me tell you.355Please respect copyright.PENANAXeVzBsVpph
Always plan realistically in life.355Please respect copyright.PENANAW9JprNNZPt
The real world is not a game where you can have a save point and start over when things go wrong.355Please respect copyright.PENANAIEWcmtCa3f
Like how I chose to make and sell shoes355Please respect copyright.PENANAIdw8BIETqd
because it’s what everyone needs every day.
355Please respect copyright.PENANAozIHbvGPzo
CINDER355Please respect copyright.PENANA92fB69OGKg
And that is what differentiates us.355Please respect copyright.PENANA1AN9w2WMsd
Winning has always been secondary.355Please respect copyright.PENANAOdPwHraubl
The thing that I love is dancing,355Please respect copyright.PENANANNM4DlB0Kn
I don’t need to be the first chair or have a solo to prove I’m worthy of doing the things I love.
355Please respect copyright.PENANAyrJsjVYfbD
SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]355Please respect copyright.PENANAYNyX2MRgLY

Championship should be your goal!
355Please respect copyright.PENANAsBg8e47AzT
CINDER355Please respect copyright.PENANACn0olOI15P
(optimistic)355Please respect copyright.PENANAk38IB6EO8E
I disagree!355Please respect copyright.PENANA6g7ZzE2E6U
What I am doing will neither deceive people nor tear apart the world.355Please respect copyright.PENANAyzMkL3ilQm
Not everything in life has to be about being the best,355Please respect copyright.PENANAt9AdvaLbXx
and what’s so great about being the best if you’re not even happy?
355Please respect copyright.PENANAvJPAZ9a0RQ
SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]355Please respect copyright.PENANA8WJ5MDIxws
(disbelieve)355Please respect copyright.PENANAk6TgkPiGZ8
Being the best itself is happiness!355Please respect copyright.PENANAu4Hf9pEG3V
Being the best brings you power and glory.
355Please respect copyright.PENANAOmQOYCDsWO
CINDER355Please respect copyright.PENANA44glJ5ious
I am just a dancer,355Please respect copyright.PENANA67UO3AJxs8
I don’t need to change the world.
355Please respect copyright.PENANAJM7tnEWTgq

SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]355Please respect copyright.PENANAQgXIxSPq9j
(profound)355Please respect copyright.PENANA4W7rBgULvR
You’ll need this too.355Please respect copyright.PENANA2oT2u11fKt
See this, this is what I said everyone needs shoes every day.355Please respect copyright.PENANALwMwIGzEt3
You could get hurt walking around barefoot.
355Please respect copyright.PENANASXgCPO5vZt
ALYSSA took the shoe from SHOPKEEPER [SHOES] and smiled brightly at SHOPKEEPER [SHOES].
355Please respect copyright.PENANAxFGnNPoxuP
