Choose one prompt and create a short story:
1. You finally agree to return home for your family's New Year (Shogatsu) celebration, but with the condition you would push yourself out of your comfort zone, even if it means being close to a person you thought you once hated.
2. The new start you always wanted was close, a start of something new, different, and something better. It comes with the Shogatsu celebration, but what happens next when the first knock you receive on that day is from someone you thought you lost all feelings for? Would you shut the door on the surprise, even if it means losing the new start you wanted?
3. Your family invites the neighbors over to partake in your Shogatsu celebration, but you can't stand the neighbor's kid, who happens to be your age. As the celebration continues, you discover they carry secrets you never expected. Will the night bring you two closer together?
