The atmosphere is alive with the sweet scent of blooming hibiscus and the soft, melodic chirping of tropical birds, as he speaks in a low, soothing tone, his words dripping with paternal love and wisdom, "My dear children, I want you to know that I'm transferring this property into your names, but don't you worry, I'll still be here, living among these trees, these flowers, and these memories, until my time on this earth comes to an end.
