CINDER249Please respect copyright.PENANABvOExDa9i9
(optimistic)249Please respect copyright.PENANAHIYGYbU4WL

Let me tell you.249Please respect copyright.PENANALa2an2f8dF
Always plan realistically in life.249Please respect copyright.PENANAhfAVh0gOa7
The real world is not a game where you can have a save point and start over when things go wrong.249Please respect copyright.PENANAkYvqoicNh0
Like how I chose to make and sell shoes249Please respect copyright.PENANA5A3L1Xs7FJ
because it’s what everyone needs every day.
249Please respect copyright.PENANAMOnhmdD9m8
CINDER249Please respect copyright.PENANASQp9C6YvDV
And that is what differentiates us.249Please respect copyright.PENANAOdecvjqFj6
Winning has always been secondary.249Please respect copyright.PENANAWCSQYu4Btc
The thing that I love is dancing,249Please respect copyright.PENANAocyuAZKSvc

249Please respect copyright.PENANAbFBdcH66OP
CINDER249Please respect copyright.PENANAqtu7McjjLD
(optimistic)249Please respect copyright.PENANAiHBqcd87xR
I disagree!249Please respect copyright.PENANAuqggllb849
What I am doing will neither deceive people nor tear apart the world.249Please respect copyright.PENANAllBp3dIIJS
Not everything in life has to be about being the best,249Please respect copyright.PENANAy7Qr5s9HnZ
and what’s so great about being the best if you’re not even happy?
249Please respect copyright.PENANASYYjdZOVkY
SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]249Please respect copyright.PENANAhodqbzeR4d
(disbelieve)249Please respect copyright.PENANAl7c6SjfQtU

Being the best brings you power and glory.
249Please respect copyright.PENANAagdvTQbp8U
CINDER249Please respect copyright.PENANAguDgAfelZQ
I am just a dancer,249Please respect copyright.PENANATqUrNgbkXh
I don’t need to change the world.
249Please respect copyright.PENANA4sPPZzQVxN

SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]249Please respect copyright.PENANA4kkOHeAHDQ
(profound)249Please respect copyright.PENANAy6UJR0fDwh
You’ll need this too.249Please respect copyright.PENANAZTuKFggrpb
See this, this is what I said everyone needs shoes every day.249Please respect copyright.PENANAze9Wvc6tXB
You could get hurt walking around barefoot.
249Please respect copyright.PENANAYENgIcWvbZ
ALYSSA took the shoe from SHOPKEEPER [SHOES] and smiled brightly at SHOPKEEPER [SHOES].
249Please respect copyright.PENANATD7UejKv9M
