CINDER306Please respect copyright.PENANAPlbZ0KnDhr
(optimistic)306Please respect copyright.PENANAO7Ic5UqNmV

Let me tell you.306Please respect copyright.PENANAP9ltYaCUvY
Always plan realistically in life.306Please respect copyright.PENANA3Q9T7zru7E
The real world is not a game where you can have a save point and start over when things go wrong.306Please respect copyright.PENANAC12D9m5XgE
Like how I chose to make and sell shoes306Please respect copyright.PENANAdt69JPSVxL
because it’s what everyone needs every day.
306Please respect copyright.PENANAxt9sK5OBJJ
CINDER306Please respect copyright.PENANA9G78igaKRA
And that is what differentiates us.306Please respect copyright.PENANAufprrCh9Fa
Winning has always been secondary.306Please respect copyright.PENANAux0L5dcuAS
The thing that I love is dancing,306Please respect copyright.PENANAk3ZayovgqZ
I don’t need to be the first chair or have a solo to prove I’m worthy of doing the things I love.

306Please respect copyright.PENANAozVyWYhv0R
CINDER306Please respect copyright.PENANAX2Fsum1QHc
(optimistic)306Please respect copyright.PENANAXN71RdPOWt
I disagree!306Please respect copyright.PENANAsdZ8kVNS1t
What I am doing will neither deceive people nor tear apart the world.306Please respect copyright.PENANAbsjAZVh2h5
Not everything in life has to be about being the best,306Please respect copyright.PENANArdKnbM9Dj5
and what’s so great about being the best if you’re not even happy?
306Please respect copyright.PENANAbpnG3O15ZS
SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]306Please respect copyright.PENANAbdBVJMjBnc
(disbelieve)306Please respect copyright.PENANAFbFNnFq1l1

Being the best brings you power and glory.
306Please respect copyright.PENANA0u1vZwsBLA
CINDER306Please respect copyright.PENANAegU88IBGfW
I am just a dancer,306Please respect copyright.PENANA2KYBtKVNFo
I don’t need to change the world.

You’ll need this too.306Please respect copyright.PENANAPcS2KhxC0U
See this, this is what I said everyone needs shoes every day.306Please respect copyright.PENANAugAxMVdrgA
You could get hurt walking around barefoot.
306Please respect copyright.PENANAKDVS4ZDR5Z
ALYSSA took the shoe from SHOPKEEPER [SHOES] and smiled brightly at SHOPKEEPER [SHOES].
306Please respect copyright.PENANAmQTwmGax9P
