CINDER294Please respect copyright.PENANAnWY6G1OkO2
(optimistic)294Please respect copyright.PENANATgvLHhhHPe

Let me tell you.294Please respect copyright.PENANAM1bYHJ7OAh
Always plan realistically in life.294Please respect copyright.PENANA2BebKpkVta
The real world is not a game where you can have a save point and start over when things go wrong.294Please respect copyright.PENANAGp4vDOJ4aH
Like how I chose to make and sell shoes294Please respect copyright.PENANAgyWIFWVioH
because it’s what everyone needs every day.
294Please respect copyright.PENANAWzdwUVsprX
CINDER294Please respect copyright.PENANAGRMCqbmTsT
And that is what differentiates us.294Please respect copyright.PENANAdeCYDSTgv1

294Please respect copyright.PENANAOCyXCi5QOj
CINDER294Please respect copyright.PENANA8ilCWnLOnR
(optimistic)294Please respect copyright.PENANA9FdyptpJAs
I disagree!294Please respect copyright.PENANAnk5D18uegJ
What I am doing will neither deceive people nor tear apart the world.294Please respect copyright.PENANAEMYAfpEa1Z
Not everything in life has to be about being the best,294Please respect copyright.PENANAAZQ460jRn9
and what’s so great about being the best if you’re not even happy?
294Please respect copyright.PENANAEOLh7IHlFE
SHOPKEEPER [SHOES]294Please respect copyright.PENANAANhGYQPcPW
(disbelieve)294Please respect copyright.PENANAaZ9OS5aiPo

Being the best brings you power and glory.
294Please respect copyright.PENANAERPVpPCGiP
CINDER294Please respect copyright.PENANApo9AaOhfX6
I am just a dancer,294Please respect copyright.PENANAaQi3jE8MOy
I don’t need to change the world.
294Please respect copyright.PENANAhfPmXnq8xS

See this, this is what I said everyone needs shoes every day.294Please respect copyright.PENANA4xrWjawiIl
You could get hurt walking around barefoot.

ALYSSA took the shoe from SHOPKEEPER [SHOES] and smiled brightly at SHOPKEEPER [SHOES].
294Please respect copyright.PENANA9ulCmR0hSp
