CINDER393Please respect copyright.PENANA7MCvTqFLjE
(optimistic)393Please respect copyright.PENANAT1EVSICJwt
Absolutely not!393Please respect copyright.PENANAwdYgZtMswd
I’ve been practicing every day ever since I fell in love with dancing.
393Please respect copyright.PENANAqguxJqr48J
SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]393Please respect copyright.PENANAXDZ2kvgUWW
Those who enter the competitions are all trained from a young age.393Please respect copyright.PENANAlHJWsiU3uR
When did you start training?
393Please respect copyright.PENANAzYJ0NBYKTh
CINDER393Please respect copyright.PENANAUnTzf7aSF7

Let me tell you.393Please respect copyright.PENANAHKvImAb9rg
Always plan realistically in life.393Please respect copyright.PENANAWJrl0zrHC1
The real world is not a game where you can have a save point and start over when things go wrong.393Please respect copyright.PENANAt2c2NCgsEM
Like how I chose to make and sell shoes393Please respect copyright.PENANA4xXKq23NYr
because it’s what everyone needs every day.
393Please respect copyright.PENANAxpQIhp2BTn
CINDER393Please respect copyright.PENANAn8taS0JQeg
And that is what differentiates us.393Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5SBPhgWO4
Winning has always been secondary.393Please respect copyright.PENANAnRvCRlukGb
The thing that I love is dancing,393Please respect copyright.PENANAgb6jP3L6uc
I don’t need to be the first chair or have a solo to prove I’m worthy of doing the things I love.

393Please respect copyright.PENANAM1635YwJBv
CINDER393Please respect copyright.PENANABhTDEM9FLa
(optimistic)393Please respect copyright.PENANAZOp8RlT0uo
I disagree!393Please respect copyright.PENANA7KUirgJUZ6
What I am doing will neither deceive people nor tear apart the world.393Please respect copyright.PENANAxeSvmDIzwO
Not everything in life has to be about being the best,393Please respect copyright.PENANACreEpadQBV
and what’s so great about being the best if you’re not even happy?
393Please respect copyright.PENANAFBgyKwlYTs
SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]393Please respect copyright.PENANAdF5ED9KtBe
(disbelieve)393Please respect copyright.PENANAURvghniiTn
Being the best itself is happiness!393Please respect copyright.PENANAFWZZXwCkIY
Being the best brings you power and glory.
393Please respect copyright.PENANA3luYbHEXvn
CINDER393Please respect copyright.PENANAM3Uq1ZSVpG
I am just a dancer,393Please respect copyright.PENANA7DT84mwAfV
I don’t need to change the world.
393Please respect copyright.PENANAFC4xGU4Vyt

SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]393Please respect copyright.PENANAenzWobxc82
(profound)393Please respect copyright.PENANAmSZ92gnmlG
You’ll need this too.393Please respect copyright.PENANAfA0z5uK6Xt
See this, this is what I said everyone needs shoes every day.393Please respect copyright.PENANAQiVB1i9gct
You could get hurt walking around barefoot.
393Please respect copyright.PENANAlMVAKsIjGW
ALYSSA took the shoe from SHOPKEEPER [SHOES] and smiled brightly at SHOPKEEPER [SHOES].
393Please respect copyright.PENANAyg7J2mE0mH
