218Please respect copyright.PENANABQe6jvz2B7

SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]218Please respect copyright.PENANACEbBtmtDva
Showcasing is a competition!218Please respect copyright.PENANAf1nb0v9OIC
What an unrealistic daydream!
218Please respect copyright.PENANA2NsWpTENcL
CINDER218Please respect copyright.PENANAko7iuQHEIT
(optimistic)218Please respect copyright.PENANADgapZi7nLR
Absolutely not!218Please respect copyright.PENANAUQbWYy3oWC
I’ve been practicing every day ever since I fell in love with dancing.
218Please respect copyright.PENANAVpaDooGjA3
SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]218Please respect copyright.PENANAYRq49svuqN
Those who enter the competitions are all trained from a young age.218Please respect copyright.PENANAhmBXtz6LOq
When did you start training?
218Please respect copyright.PENANAOJjI08DAXg
CINDER218Please respect copyright.PENANARRvPMDEYLh

218Please respect copyright.PENANA5zhIrpW9zW

Let me tell you.218Please respect copyright.PENANAgrblQSiNGh
Always plan realistically in life.218Please respect copyright.PENANADX34mLM8wr
The real world is not a game where you can have a save point and start over when things go wrong.218Please respect copyright.PENANAI3oKxX60gh
Like how I chose to make and sell shoes218Please respect copyright.PENANAUfoSBTKCCV
because it’s what everyone needs every day.
218Please respect copyright.PENANATbqPzXz7wd
CINDER218Please respect copyright.PENANAK3VO80HAwF
And that is what differentiates us.218Please respect copyright.PENANAvn3EZhAl0k
Winning has always been secondary.218Please respect copyright.PENANASQtrBSIbgM
The thing that I love is dancing,218Please respect copyright.PENANAlNqvheUOU1
I don’t need to be the first chair or have a solo to prove I’m worthy of doing the things I love.
218Please respect copyright.PENANAAHw8NPSFfo
SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]218Please respect copyright.PENANAEvp3swxlDO
(disbelieve)218Please respect copyright.PENANA01J0dlSeSY

Championship should be your goal!
218Please respect copyright.PENANAymXnT5krgc
CINDER218Please respect copyright.PENANANobIjpBFLM
(optimistic)218Please respect copyright.PENANAv3PLhVjbd4
I disagree!218Please respect copyright.PENANABXehSqTx7i
What I am doing will neither deceive people nor tear apart the world.218Please respect copyright.PENANAqkWAEVubG9
Not everything in life has to be about being the best,218Please respect copyright.PENANAJgaO67PTU6
and what’s so great about being the best if you’re not even happy?
218Please respect copyright.PENANAyM6JqrMoWG
SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]218Please respect copyright.PENANA2xn6dN96m5
(disbelieve)218Please respect copyright.PENANAkE0zTkxOYM
Being the best itself is happiness!218Please respect copyright.PENANAJTzHYmVlYy
Being the best brings you power and glory.
218Please respect copyright.PENANAPFGlhRKFEX
CINDER218Please respect copyright.PENANA0pEAip7QQU
I am just a dancer,218Please respect copyright.PENANAZQDMLPPLBk
I don’t need to change the world.
218Please respect copyright.PENANAYRmJaVfC0j

SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]218Please respect copyright.PENANANtpBtdEEUi
(profound)218Please respect copyright.PENANAZy70QXyyZi
You’ll need this too.218Please respect copyright.PENANArWI28j2uAX
See this, this is what I said everyone needs shoes every day.218Please respect copyright.PENANAs6aRbPh944
You could get hurt walking around barefoot.
218Please respect copyright.PENANAgxN2Ufov7V
ALYSSA took the shoe from SHOPKEEPER [SHOES] and smiled brightly at SHOPKEEPER [SHOES].
218Please respect copyright.PENANAAOAfCuXNlU
ALYSSA218Please respect copyright.PENANAyGeeb2fSQz
