CINDER374Please respect copyright.PENANAemgLa97RiP
(optimistic)374Please respect copyright.PENANApzRkcGm0SL

Let me tell you.374Please respect copyright.PENANApiVL6QZKV4
Always plan realistically in life.374Please respect copyright.PENANAuzWsI3wppF
The real world is not a game where you can have a save point and start over when things go wrong.374Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7IRog34tO
Like how I chose to make and sell shoes374Please respect copyright.PENANAB1XG5qKlUR
because it’s what everyone needs every day.
374Please respect copyright.PENANAv0QpchqUb3
CINDER374Please respect copyright.PENANA13hDyFPEHK
And that is what differentiates us.374Please respect copyright.PENANApxxSrOlHe9
Winning has always been secondary.374Please respect copyright.PENANAF1DWBL6qkR
The thing that I love is dancing,374Please respect copyright.PENANArUoPGSep5Y
I don’t need to be the first chair or have a solo to prove I’m worthy of doing the things I love.

374Please respect copyright.PENANAh65bJT35mU
CINDER374Please respect copyright.PENANATl963hVeZw
(optimistic)374Please respect copyright.PENANAF1G099bNcc
I disagree!374Please respect copyright.PENANAJEIDd7rlXX
What I am doing will neither deceive people nor tear apart the world.374Please respect copyright.PENANAhIzSPHWTf0
Not everything in life has to be about being the best,374Please respect copyright.PENANA8I5dDkV5Kn
and what’s so great about being the best if you’re not even happy?
374Please respect copyright.PENANAVRg2EwkBF3
SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]374Please respect copyright.PENANAPTyvifqfK4
(disbelieve)374Please respect copyright.PENANAh1FlNglAcj
Being the best itself is happiness!374Please respect copyright.PENANAo2PPP4M3Of
Being the best brings you power and glory.
374Please respect copyright.PENANAeMhuoKechk
CINDER374Please respect copyright.PENANAnj4sQGVllu
I am just a dancer,374Please respect copyright.PENANAUssHg4N2Np
I don’t need to change the world.

SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]374Please respect copyright.PENANAYUxSN20892
(profound)374Please respect copyright.PENANA4dmIoV27tZ
You’ll need this too.374Please respect copyright.PENANAdYF7q9EGVM
See this, this is what I said everyone needs shoes every day.374Please respect copyright.PENANAIqUqyxdtpb
You could get hurt walking around barefoot.
374Please respect copyright.PENANAZtQZow2MiZ
ALYSSA took the shoe from SHOPKEEPER [SHOES] and smiled brightly at SHOPKEEPER [SHOES].
374Please respect copyright.PENANAdRO6tWGJgT
