Always plan realistically in life.297Please respect copyright.PENANANK5ohV8w8Q
The real world is not a game where you can have a save point and start over when things go wrong.297Please respect copyright.PENANAB9yzwATChv

I disagree!297Please respect copyright.PENANAWRL8BMzpzp
What I am doing will neither deceive people nor tear apart the world.297Please respect copyright.PENANAe9R7UxcqrE
Not everything in life has to be about being the best,297Please respect copyright.PENANAkR7twvrdLz
and what’s so great about being the best if you’re not even happy?
297Please respect copyright.PENANAd5xLBXm7Aw
SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]297Please respect copyright.PENANAccDwE20GIW
(disbelieve)297Please respect copyright.PENANAXsbYJqq4uX

Being the best brings you power and glory.
297Please respect copyright.PENANAkKgftdfgJH
CINDER297Please respect copyright.PENANAPG4DAwbIhP
