The meaning of silence

I discuss of the meaning of Red-Oak and Green-Rose's silence, trying to interpret it. According to my guesses, they feel shame about what happened in the past, yet, they still don't have the certainty that all what I am saying is true. Once they will, they will speak, and who what is right, I believe.

Those are typical sweets prepared in Mount Lebanon, with almond paste, and sold in pastry shops.
