CINDER91Please respect copyright.PENANAqGEeQZQpSk
(optimistic)91Please respect copyright.PENANAXCDkSuM6fM

I’ve been practicing every day ever since I fell in love with dancing.
91Please respect copyright.PENANANxj6XugyfF
SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]91Please respect copyright.PENANAxNNkMYeQCm

When did you start training?
91Please respect copyright.PENANAkbDGwFbs8d
CINDER91Please respect copyright.PENANA0wYT2SSxWE

Let me tell you.91Please respect copyright.PENANAVyGweca31r
Always plan realistically in life.91Please respect copyright.PENANAsc4Qcveoyj
The real world is not a game where you can have a save point and start over when things go wrong.91Please respect copyright.PENANAemnd6YNeRE
Like how I chose to make and sell shoes91Please respect copyright.PENANAAk99tfCOGR
because it’s what everyone needs every day.
91Please respect copyright.PENANAOe6ap7XxvB
CINDER91Please respect copyright.PENANAHnfRp9Ocqj
And that is what differentiates us.91Please respect copyright.PENANAK5EvaPBoVr
Winning has always been secondary.91Please respect copyright.PENANAfnEilblgHW
The thing that I love is dancing,91Please respect copyright.PENANA4XY3hsToBH
I don’t need to be the first chair or have a solo to prove I’m worthy of doing the things I love.

91Please respect copyright.PENANAAV2exFZB2E
CINDER91Please respect copyright.PENANAXmfWtsgDFZ
(optimistic)91Please respect copyright.PENANAuxsnsEiVgc
I disagree!91Please respect copyright.PENANAtsjnjejiZQ
What I am doing will neither deceive people nor tear apart the world.91Please respect copyright.PENANAmDjAOSvfhP
Not everything in life has to be about being the best,91Please respect copyright.PENANAqH7Ey1OUi3
and what’s so great about being the best if you’re not even happy?
91Please respect copyright.PENANApAl57ps30N
SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]91Please respect copyright.PENANAOtgLBLvGKm
(disbelieve)91Please respect copyright.PENANAovBmfMQEtS
Being the best itself is happiness!91Please respect copyright.PENANArGWw19V8g3
Being the best brings you power and glory.
91Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5ivIgKlLI
CINDER91Please respect copyright.PENANAknjkhqGsSP
I am just a dancer,91Please respect copyright.PENANAz73kGNVRb6
I don’t need to change the world.
91Please respect copyright.PENANA6r0Xk9EvYj

SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]91Please respect copyright.PENANA2EtuzKlVTK
(profound)91Please respect copyright.PENANALrac7sHAXN
You’ll need this too.91Please respect copyright.PENANA7fdkcIb51J
See this, this is what I said everyone needs shoes every day.91Please respect copyright.PENANAcGKIVYtHwE
You could get hurt walking around barefoot.
91Please respect copyright.PENANASfoxGtCBA0
ALYSSA took the shoe from SHOPKEEPER [SHOES] and smiled brightly at SHOPKEEPER [SHOES].
91Please respect copyright.PENANA96hhi8rRbj
ALYSSA91Please respect copyright.PENANAOolQ07XC2m
