How can I help you, young children?
355Please respect copyright.PENANAtrU49BMgQH

We were just talking about shoes.
355Please respect copyright.PENANAUUKGaPlj9w

355Please respect copyright.PENANAMEtjmi0Xbz
SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]355Please respect copyright.PENANA9Xe63uMgy1
Showcasing is a competition!355Please respect copyright.PENANANb5Y4yKecM
What an unrealistic daydream!
355Please respect copyright.PENANA2E0JiSXKtt
CINDER355Please respect copyright.PENANA8xwonES1No
(optimistic)355Please respect copyright.PENANASMdfKwTPjJ
Absolutely not!355Please respect copyright.PENANAnLf1d3U4gS
I’ve been practicing every day ever since I fell in love with dancing.
355Please respect copyright.PENANAGPgmP4Q0RQ
SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]355Please respect copyright.PENANA5cmhDqCxhJ
Those who enter the competitions are all trained from a young age.355Please respect copyright.PENANATAQIWm3MhZ
When did you start training?
355Please respect copyright.PENANAJo4aOUoQSy
CINDER355Please respect copyright.PENANAFVwiwToaW1
I am self-taught.
355Please respect copyright.PENANABVEj5gVuwg
SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]355Please respect copyright.PENANA6yKpQ02rJ0

Give up this dream.355Please respect copyright.PENANAikeLHyp4Gu
Let me tell you.355Please respect copyright.PENANAxJbnbFHxPX
Always plan realistically in life.355Please respect copyright.PENANAfE0bMcEJ7t
The real world is not a game where you can have a save point and start over when things go wrong.355Please respect copyright.PENANAm7fBEizDMB
Like how I chose to make and sell shoes355Please respect copyright.PENANAY01r7pzHPw
because it’s what everyone needs every day.
355Please respect copyright.PENANACt5ZyVqEiY
CINDER355Please respect copyright.PENANACynvG6Wx6X
And that is what differentiates us.355Please respect copyright.PENANA2ur2IrjiS5
Winning has always been secondary.355Please respect copyright.PENANAp3b66N8CJ3
The thing that I love is dancing,355Please respect copyright.PENANAtJSV9J14BE
I don’t need to be the first chair or have a solo to prove I’m worthy of doing the things I love.
355Please respect copyright.PENANACyMaF2qnTb
SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]355Please respect copyright.PENANAv5uJEddSg4
(disbelieve)355Please respect copyright.PENANAbN5G4yQ0KR

You must always aim for the best.355Please respect copyright.PENANAahOySpnhyG
Championship should be your goal!
355Please respect copyright.PENANADVqlQ6pz2X
CINDER355Please respect copyright.PENANAw0AoPXMesb
(optimistic)355Please respect copyright.PENANAHZYkhjexRH
I disagree!355Please respect copyright.PENANAnAQXnoDbw5
What I am doing will neither deceive people nor tear apart the world.355Please respect copyright.PENANAVQPoblaTpI
Not everything in life has to be about being the best,355Please respect copyright.PENANAHG5fcrlcQv
and what’s so great about being the best if you’re not even happy?
355Please respect copyright.PENANABIOMzcx5Yi
SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]355Please respect copyright.PENANAhkpRWXBcbS
(disbelieve)355Please respect copyright.PENANAic4ZBlOHIf
Being the best itself is happiness!355Please respect copyright.PENANAEsIDezYDi8
Being the best brings you power and glory.
355Please respect copyright.PENANAfQAitCGzIN
CINDER355Please respect copyright.PENANAZyt3brnfhh
I am just a dancer,355Please respect copyright.PENANAPZjLnPumfo
I don’t need to change the world.
355Please respect copyright.PENANAUaC1s4hvkz

355Please respect copyright.PENANA6kyp6zh60v
SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]355Please respect copyright.PENANA78QjNW52PO
(profound)355Please respect copyright.PENANAi0xvfggFbT
You’ll need this too.355Please respect copyright.PENANAjlWo5Rrrv6
See this, this is what I said everyone needs shoes every day.355Please respect copyright.PENANAx2agghhueu
You could get hurt walking around barefoot.
355Please respect copyright.PENANAwbZQvDPYKq
ALYSSA took the shoe from SHOPKEEPER [SHOES] and smiled brightly at SHOPKEEPER [SHOES].
355Please respect copyright.PENANA4g4DvbWymn
ALYSSA355Please respect copyright.PENANAfn1m55DS3N
