Each of the rooms, which are arranged east to west, are decorated with a monochromatic color scheme, and lit only by a brazier in the hallway which casts light through a stained-glass window.

Na kladbische brodit kot s gorjaschimi glazami.Zolotoj zhuk vedjot skvoz tmu - k sokrovischam ili gibeli.V otrazhenii starinnogo zerkala uzhe stoit tvoj dvojnik. Golosa iz mogily i stony v stenakh napominajut o tom, chto smert - ne vsegda konets.
