SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]364Please respect copyright.PENANAx0pjsdJCe0
Showcasing is a competition!364Please respect copyright.PENANAn61ukzI8h9
What an unrealistic daydream!
364Please respect copyright.PENANABGz2nP7jLI
CINDER364Please respect copyright.PENANAWwNd9vpGIo
(optimistic)364Please respect copyright.PENANAXmn3h0CMZA
Absolutely not!364Please respect copyright.PENANAHt0QOSA3sH
I’ve been practicing every day ever since I fell in love with dancing.
364Please respect copyright.PENANAy3NMQwy5p4
SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]364Please respect copyright.PENANAokodYP4OE8
Those who enter the competitions are all trained from a young age.364Please respect copyright.PENANAxW1thnxNIW
When did you start training?
364Please respect copyright.PENANADxaVuOoeOw
CINDER364Please respect copyright.PENANAY6ny5HOTgL

364Please respect copyright.PENANAH7An4fZ0hf

Let me tell you.364Please respect copyright.PENANAAneBUg2CYD
Always plan realistically in life.364Please respect copyright.PENANAHp7fuh0CVk
The real world is not a game where you can have a save point and start over when things go wrong.364Please respect copyright.PENANABmszzSXALm
Like how I chose to make and sell shoes364Please respect copyright.PENANA4ssUM2nh6w
because it’s what everyone needs every day.
364Please respect copyright.PENANAgZI5Jjsefu
CINDER364Please respect copyright.PENANAiweEEShJTo
And that is what differentiates us.364Please respect copyright.PENANAdLRFBzmzEw
Winning has always been secondary.364Please respect copyright.PENANALKl7y3EW7H
The thing that I love is dancing,364Please respect copyright.PENANAUZ7u6VkPEp
I don’t need to be the first chair or have a solo to prove I’m worthy of doing the things I love.
364Please respect copyright.PENANAD0fccAuh6w
SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]364Please respect copyright.PENANAWuuydmnhTg
(disbelieve)364Please respect copyright.PENANAhejua8go0J

You must always aim for the best.364Please respect copyright.PENANAjj42QeLrmU
Championship should be your goal!
364Please respect copyright.PENANAZLnlPr9WNh
CINDER364Please respect copyright.PENANAL6GjKc88GB
(optimistic)364Please respect copyright.PENANA3n374Dr4Ls
I disagree!364Please respect copyright.PENANACuiCybJyxx
What I am doing will neither deceive people nor tear apart the world.364Please respect copyright.PENANAOFlg5MywsE
Not everything in life has to be about being the best,364Please respect copyright.PENANAvJXpmv6YQR
and what’s so great about being the best if you’re not even happy?
364Please respect copyright.PENANAmIUjKKIdhE
SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]364Please respect copyright.PENANAyhdVMmUWr3
(disbelieve)364Please respect copyright.PENANAdNPZxQlsWE
Being the best itself is happiness!364Please respect copyright.PENANA7yFrQBQY4a
Being the best brings you power and glory.
364Please respect copyright.PENANA5vXLIRuftt
CINDER364Please respect copyright.PENANA42zkPoq8xg
I am just a dancer,364Please respect copyright.PENANAHHaxFZLsp6
I don’t need to change the world.
364Please respect copyright.PENANAY0ZoR0pQrf

SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]364Please respect copyright.PENANA5DWN7t54mV
(profound)364Please respect copyright.PENANAduy35ePrIF
You’ll need this too.364Please respect copyright.PENANAswrsia6Dw8
See this, this is what I said everyone needs shoes every day.364Please respect copyright.PENANAaJ7JtTEgmz
You could get hurt walking around barefoot.
364Please respect copyright.PENANAJUdGFKEKZe
ALYSSA took the shoe from SHOPKEEPER [SHOES] and smiled brightly at SHOPKEEPER [SHOES].
364Please respect copyright.PENANAt6U8ljBz2S
