365Please respect copyright.PENANAMMvOHyueWq
CINDER365Please respect copyright.PENANAft6hH7LxFp
(optimistic)365Please respect copyright.PENANAgnSIgz73Yu
Absolutely not!365Please respect copyright.PENANAYtW5FbAJqP
I’ve been practicing every day ever since I fell in love with dancing.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAzAdzVGBheH
SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]365Please respect copyright.PENANAwT2ip5DSyD
Those who enter the competitions are all trained from a young age.365Please respect copyright.PENANA69xMKlt1w0
When did you start training?
365Please respect copyright.PENANAxpvfKfKapx
CINDER365Please respect copyright.PENANASXQ0mmN7us

Let me tell you.365Please respect copyright.PENANAhRvTGb6oiS
Always plan realistically in life.365Please respect copyright.PENANAPyFxTkrjPo
The real world is not a game where you can have a save point and start over when things go wrong.365Please respect copyright.PENANADbBvXOzhUx
Like how I chose to make and sell shoes365Please respect copyright.PENANAwUX2tS8h89
because it’s what everyone needs every day.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAmK0RNwwpHm
CINDER365Please respect copyright.PENANAEBIkwbWxmc
And that is what differentiates us.365Please respect copyright.PENANA4XsuGvs6Pf
Winning has always been secondary.365Please respect copyright.PENANAfGt1Exdao6
The thing that I love is dancing,365Please respect copyright.PENANAOq5mNj4OQj
I don’t need to be the first chair or have a solo to prove I’m worthy of doing the things I love.

Championship should be your goal!
365Please respect copyright.PENANAOZcTf4k7G1
CINDER365Please respect copyright.PENANATt4NP8R9Jr
(optimistic)365Please respect copyright.PENANApOH0tK2akI
I disagree!365Please respect copyright.PENANAy7k9ciW132
What I am doing will neither deceive people nor tear apart the world.365Please respect copyright.PENANANKBBtdd0Jd
Not everything in life has to be about being the best,365Please respect copyright.PENANAcqZ3mYeqcp
and what’s so great about being the best if you’re not even happy?
365Please respect copyright.PENANALK39iUiEgG
SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]365Please respect copyright.PENANAajpYNBLiBV
(disbelieve)365Please respect copyright.PENANAMws3Raidpw
Being the best itself is happiness!365Please respect copyright.PENANAmG5SCt4ESy
Being the best brings you power and glory.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAeGNuABVKWt
CINDER365Please respect copyright.PENANAG8IvcaCFxt
I am just a dancer,365Please respect copyright.PENANAVkyuG05VK1
I don’t need to change the world.
365Please respect copyright.PENANAQItjvE5ANs

SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]365Please respect copyright.PENANAk9TVdwtmEa
(profound)365Please respect copyright.PENANAZGtkO0WBW0
You’ll need this too.365Please respect copyright.PENANAtgYYyLi0Z7
See this, this is what I said everyone needs shoes every day.365Please respect copyright.PENANAZLlqeIxOsN
You could get hurt walking around barefoot.
365Please respect copyright.PENANASgtUIM7Wm0
ALYSSA took the shoe from SHOPKEEPER [SHOES] and smiled brightly at SHOPKEEPER [SHOES].
365Please respect copyright.PENANAs6SnLFeVZJ
