love

Nicky, I love you, and I think you were a beautiful human being who did not deserve to die the way you did. You expected life to follow the logic you had always known, and for that you met a very cruel and horrific fate. You weren't perfect, but hell, who is? When they made you czar of Russia in 1896, the world was changing... you were young, but sheltered, and so you were very old-school.... damn, I wish you'd lived long enough for me to meet you.
