The Sakura Grand Ballroom was a masterpiece of elegance, blending modern luxury with the timeless beauty of Japanese tradition. Massive crystal chandeliers bathed the space in a soft, golden glow, while walls of shoji screens and delicate cherry blossom arrangements gave the room a tranquil, ethereal feel. The scent of fresh sakura petals and expensive perfume filled the air, mixing with the subtle richness of aged sake and expertly crafted hors d'oeuvres.

Ryan let out a low whistle, adjusting the lapels of his tailored black tuxedo. "I gotta admit," he murmured, "they know how to throw a party."
