How can I help you, young children?
232Please respect copyright.PENANAon5rOipA4I

232Please respect copyright.PENANAhMxbyO5h3G

SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]232Please respect copyright.PENANAvhoIATW9p2
Showcasing is a competition!232Please respect copyright.PENANAaHprrmkyeH

232Please respect copyright.PENANAdidiHwtsXX
CINDER232Please respect copyright.PENANALWGMlQgMR8
(optimistic)232Please respect copyright.PENANAy31anIGCcW
Absolutely not!232Please respect copyright.PENANAyqKZcCIzh9
I’ve been practicing every day ever since I fell in love with dancing.
232Please respect copyright.PENANAhOvgQqWbsg
SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]232Please respect copyright.PENANApDtmJTFYqa
Those who enter the competitions are all trained from a young age.232Please respect copyright.PENANA6hk1RFmCtG
When did you start training?
232Please respect copyright.PENANAl2bqAH7N8X
CINDER232Please respect copyright.PENANARj48AFoD8G
I am self-taught.
232Please respect copyright.PENANAQL2ViqHysX
SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]232Please respect copyright.PENANA2FWxAStoPh

Give up this dream.232Please respect copyright.PENANAyeoyo1nqn0
Let me tell you.232Please respect copyright.PENANAl5YQR4pquQ
Always plan realistically in life.232Please respect copyright.PENANAXcUdJHw4bn
The real world is not a game where you can have a save point and start over when things go wrong.232Please respect copyright.PENANAL3VAwezY9J
Like how I chose to make and sell shoes232Please respect copyright.PENANAdJZRYA9Ubk
because it’s what everyone needs every day.
232Please respect copyright.PENANARg0rAayIyq
CINDER232Please respect copyright.PENANAHSObgbjEjG
And that is what differentiates us.232Please respect copyright.PENANA9N0eJ8sQ9k
Winning has always been secondary.232Please respect copyright.PENANAktcK4kJmew
The thing that I love is dancing,232Please respect copyright.PENANAdoDkhYLOu0
I don’t need to be the first chair or have a solo to prove I’m worthy of doing the things I love.
232Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZhHMCb8V7
SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]232Please respect copyright.PENANABQKnpFkHPE
(disbelieve)232Please respect copyright.PENANA5Gnzy0B7BE

You must always aim for the best.232Please respect copyright.PENANAnEkVmo9l85
Championship should be your goal!
232Please respect copyright.PENANAjqMU6svytW
CINDER232Please respect copyright.PENANAkJMLRYds74
(optimistic)232Please respect copyright.PENANAEq8yWuYvgM
I disagree!232Please respect copyright.PENANAK7eVFVUh8T
What I am doing will neither deceive people nor tear apart the world.232Please respect copyright.PENANAW2bO9YpdVy
Not everything in life has to be about being the best,232Please respect copyright.PENANAxZfUVIV6rn
and what’s so great about being the best if you’re not even happy?
232Please respect copyright.PENANALGKgZUeKkO
SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]232Please respect copyright.PENANAWxrn9EDiO1
(disbelieve)232Please respect copyright.PENANA7G3EE3hZJV
Being the best itself is happiness!232Please respect copyright.PENANAGxSBIstCMN
Being the best brings you power and glory.
232Please respect copyright.PENANAdZUOSuDLM9
CINDER232Please respect copyright.PENANAIpL9k1oZop
I am just a dancer,232Please respect copyright.PENANAdowfWr7xDo
I don’t need to change the world.
232Please respect copyright.PENANAFQSlIXkusH

232Please respect copyright.PENANAa9wgQXnmOi
SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]232Please respect copyright.PENANAS3WTi3KpUp
(profound)232Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8PAhlr4vK
You’ll need this too.232Please respect copyright.PENANA9OkueVODTs
See this, this is what I said everyone needs shoes every day.232Please respect copyright.PENANAJCk7gAotaG
You could get hurt walking around barefoot.
232Please respect copyright.PENANAdoBz6FAucz
ALYSSA took the shoe from SHOPKEEPER [SHOES] and smiled brightly at SHOPKEEPER [SHOES].
232Please respect copyright.PENANALEmHYNEHjW
ALYSSA232Please respect copyright.PENANA54LFDdavEf
