En: Kaisa and Mikko stood in a shadowy corridor of the Colosseum. Fi: He olivat tulleet Roomaan kokemaan antiikin historian elämyksiä. En: They had come to Rome to experience the wonders of ancient history. Fi: Kaisa oli innoissaan päästäkseen näkemään Colosseumin alusta alkaen, mutta Mikko vaikutti vähän varautuneelta.
