Justice Strauss has offered to take the children in but cannot since the parent's will says that they must be related to the person that they go to. Justice Strauss seems to try to put on a brave face for the children and points out that they should respect what their parents wanted. Despite this speech Justice Strauss is crying as the children leave. The children believe it is possible that they are leaving behind the one person that could give them a happy home.
