39Please respect copyright.PENANA5pbiNiOCIV
CINDER39Please respect copyright.PENANAqq4MTyY3r4
(optimistic)39Please respect copyright.PENANABTXaAGXNye
Absolutely not!39Please respect copyright.PENANAzDbTeNSBoy
I’ve been practicing every day ever since I fell in love with dancing.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAv9YyiWAGz4

When did you start training?
39Please respect copyright.PENANAb3AbZYpyDJ
CINDER39Please respect copyright.PENANAggovyyLHlr

Let me tell you.39Please respect copyright.PENANA3Kadqxs7lT
Always plan realistically in life.39Please respect copyright.PENANAtSCHdO5NxJ
The real world is not a game where you can have a save point and start over when things go wrong.39Please respect copyright.PENANACI8Kmv15ZL
Like how I chose to make and sell shoes39Please respect copyright.PENANAtxohfKqmJE
because it’s what everyone needs every day.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAdMkm8O6z8P
CINDER39Please respect copyright.PENANALhVKuad6dG
And that is what differentiates us.39Please respect copyright.PENANAZAtUDddMK6
Winning has always been secondary.39Please respect copyright.PENANAuZOnv0wsXf
The thing that I love is dancing,39Please respect copyright.PENANApRiuQ44ovw
I don’t need to be the first chair or have a solo to prove I’m worthy of doing the things I love.

39Please respect copyright.PENANA9KsOyaRwZI
CINDER39Please respect copyright.PENANAx5w3kF7ym5
(optimistic)39Please respect copyright.PENANAF9t6wsPz5O
I disagree!39Please respect copyright.PENANARBRga9Z6Pq
What I am doing will neither deceive people nor tear apart the world.39Please respect copyright.PENANAnzvBtTCcuh
Not everything in life has to be about being the best,39Please respect copyright.PENANALohO3Iwj5q
and what’s so great about being the best if you’re not even happy?
39Please respect copyright.PENANALcjUbW0dnO
SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]39Please respect copyright.PENANAqNz8R3BpRP
(disbelieve)39Please respect copyright.PENANAgOz2lUiuGk
Being the best itself is happiness!39Please respect copyright.PENANA5qkriKvHVG
Being the best brings you power and glory.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAYb1ojKYQmB
CINDER39Please respect copyright.PENANA8MDO7AGQaz
I am just a dancer,39Please respect copyright.PENANA08twDMsz4a
I don’t need to change the world.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAGlDvy6dGJu

SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]39Please respect copyright.PENANANNv19Xqehs
(profound)39Please respect copyright.PENANAjAun3cyl2E
You’ll need this too.39Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8B7yxtm9I
See this, this is what I said everyone needs shoes every day.39Please respect copyright.PENANAodt8ZCZQEi
You could get hurt walking around barefoot.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAGNDnK7bSts
ALYSSA took the shoe from SHOPKEEPER [SHOES] and smiled brightly at SHOPKEEPER [SHOES].
39Please respect copyright.PENANANDthwFIeOH
ALYSSA39Please respect copyright.PENANAcJEHemcjNt
