    Somehow my brain says that is a boy singing
    So here is a POV
    0:00 The tiny music box played a sad tune, he thought it was completely strange to him but the more he listened, the more memories came to his mind. 0:26 Were all these memories real? Of course they were, the big rooms, the paintings, the old chandeliers, everything came back to life once he recognized his memories once again.
    0:52 Nobody in their sane judgment would have walked towards the ballroom as he did, he was just in his world, in the world that someone took away from many years ago. Every single person, that December in specific, the dances,
    1:19 EVERYTHING was just there at his fingertips, the tears were there too but the emotion was way strong. He dances with some ghost, he didn't mind, even he might be a ghost too.
    1:57 HE WAS SAFE FOR THE FIRST TIME, wait, THERE WAS A TIME WERE HE WAS SAFE.
    2:22 The tears started to fall, his heart was broken now that he realized that there wasn't anyone not anything left...
    2:49 That distant December was one and only, the small music box was the only remembering abandoned, he had to accept it, he didn't want to, the pain on his chest just increased, the lament went louder and the music inside his head too.
    Oh, poor prince... Once upon a December, you were the happiest child in all the kingdom, now, you are just a scrappy teenager crying in the middle of a rusty castle.

      @@ellehan6676
      Around midnight on 17 July, Yurovsky ordered the Romanovs' physician, Eugene Botkin, to awaken the sleeping family and ask them to put on their clothes, under the pretext that the family would be moved to a safe location due to impending chaos in Yekaterinburg.The Romanovs were then ordered into a 6 m × 5 m (20 ft × 16 ft) semi-basement room. Nicholas asked if Yurovsky could bring two chairs, on which Tsarevich Alexei and Alexandra sat.Yurovsky's assistant Grigory Nikulin remarked to him that the "heir wanted to die in a chair.Very well then, let him have one." The prisoners were told to wait in the cellar room while the truck that would transport them was being brought to the House. A few minutes later, an execution squad of secret police was brought in and Yurovsky read aloud the order given to him by the Ural Executive Committee:
      Nikolai Alexandrovich, in view of the fact that your relatives are continuing their attack on Soviet Russia, the Ural Executive Committee has decided to execute you.
      Nicholas, facing his family, turned and said "What? What?" Yurovsky quickly repeated the order and the weapons were raised. The Empress and Grand Duchess Olga, according to a guard's reminiscence, had tried to bless themselves, but failed amid the shooting. Yurovsky reportedly raised his Colt gun at Nicholas's torso and fired; Nicholas fell dead, pierced with at least three bullets in his upper chest. The intoxicated Peter Ermakov, the military commissar for Verkh-Isetsk, shot and killed Alexandra with a bullet wound to the head. He then shot at Maria, who ran for the double doors, hitting her in the thigh. The remaining executioners shot chaotically and over each other's shoulders until the room was so filled with smoke and dust that no one could see anything at all in the darkness nor hear any commands amid the noise.
      Alexey Kabanov, who ran onto the street to check the noise levels, heard dogs barking from the Romanovs' quarters and the sound of gunshots loud and clear despite the noise from the Fiat's engine. Kabanov then hurried downstairs and told the men to stop firing and kill the family and their dogs with their gun butts and bayonets. Within minutes, Yurovsky was forced to stop the shooting because of the caustic smoke of burned gunpowder, dust from the plaster ceiling caused by the reverberation of bullets, and the deafening gunshots. When they stopped, the doors were then opened to scatter the smoke.While waiting for the smoke to abate, the killers could hear moans and whimpers inside the room. As it cleared, it became evident that although several of the family's retainers had been killed, all of the Imperial children were alive and only Maria was injured.
      The basement where the Romanov family was killed. The wall had been torn apart in search of bullets and other evidence by investigators in 1919. The double doors leading to a storeroom were locked during the execution.
      The noise of the guns had been heard by households all around, awakening many people. The executioners were ordered to use their bayonets, a technique which proved ineffective and meant that the children had to be dispatched by still more gunshots, this time aimed more precisely at their heads. The Tsarevich was the first of the children to be executed. Yurovsky watched in disbelief as Nikulin spent an entire magazine from his Browning gun on Alexei, who was still seated transfixed in his chair; he also had jewels sewn into his undergarment and forage cap. Ermakov shot and stabbed him, and when that failed, Yurovsky shoved him aside and killed the boy with a gunshot to the head. The last to die were Tatiana, Anastasia, and Maria, who were carrying a few pounds (over 1.3 kilograms) of diamonds sewn into their clothing, which had given them a degree of protection from the firing. However, they were speared with bayonets as well. Olga sustained a gunshot wound to the head. Maria and Anastasia were said to have crouched up against a wall covering their heads in terror until they were shot. Yurovsky killed Tatiana and Alexei. Tatiana died from a single shot to the back of her head. Alexei received two bullets to the head, right behind the ear. Anna Demidova, Alexandra's maid, survived the initial onslaught but was quickly stabbed to death against the back wall while trying to defend herself with a small pillow which she had carried that was filled with precious gems and jewels. While the bodies were being placed on stretchers, one of the girls cried out and covered her face with her arm. Ermakov grabbed Alexander Strekotin's rifle and bayoneted her in the chest, but when it failed to penetrate he pulled out his revolver and shot her in the head.
      While Yurovsky was checking the victims for pulses, Ermakov walked through the room, flailing the bodies with his bayonet. The execution lasted about 20 minutes, Yurovsky later admitting to Nikulin's "poor mastery of his weapon and inevitable nerves". Future investigations calculated that a possible 70 bullets were fired, roughly seven bullets per shooter, of which 57 were found in the basement and at all three subsequent gravesites. Some of Pavel Medvedev's stretcher bearers began frisking the bodies for valuables. Yurovsky saw this and demanded that they surrender any looted items or be shot. The attempted looting, coupled with Ermakov's incompetence and drunken state, convinced Yurovsky to oversee the disposal of the bodies himself. Only Alexei's spaniel, Joy, survived to be rescued by a British officer of the Allied Intervention Force, living out his final days in Windsor, Berkshire.

But at night you see the ghosts of the nobility and the royal family. You see there ghosts but only at the night. so much death and greef that there ghosts couldn't move on and where eternally bound to the palace because rebels had stolen there away there lives. There demise happening again and again, living there final days all over again. One day they start to worry about a couple rebels popping up and then they are imprisoned by then rebels in there own palace. One day a mob stromed the palace, the royal family is beat to death. Except a little girl is saved by a middle aged woman. That lady is the your mother. You begin to cry and you start to remember. You put there souls to peace by burning down the place that they where killed.

    Im going to share something that really happened to me that might sound like a POV:
    I have the habit of listening classic music before i go to sleep. In the ocasion it was raining at night and i had put this song and this is what happened: the month of december has so much importancy to me, it is the month that grandfather's died, its my birthday month and its my best friend's birthday month as well.
    Ive always liked the month of december, specially due to christmas, but since my grandfather died it had some sort of change, because it brings the memory of his passing.
    But i had a dream with a previous life, a past life in the 19th century and I was dancing a waltz with a very beautifull girl in a huge ball room, and i felt that girl was my soul mate, but then, sunddenly, i started feeling sick and then i died, but before i died i said that our love is eternal and that we will never be departed, and then, we kissed and so i died. Since then (that past life) ive never found a partner that fill that gap within me.
    I woke up and it was still raining and I was crying. This song was still playing and it was once upon a december 😢

    POV someone in a toxic relationship with their partner/family who gaslights them everytime they try to talk about it. Plot twist: they have strong avatar state like power, and is very much a pacifist and a kind soul.
    The partner/family member gaslights them for the last time as they are posessed by their anger and sadness, using their powers to mentally torment the family member/partner with past memories of their trauma and the family member/partners misdeeds until the fm/p is violently sobbing begging them to stop while theyre floating midair, eyes no longer with pupils, and creating a wind so strong its alomst as if they all are in the middle of a tornado. They cant hear fm/p, as the kind and gentle being they once knew is long gone. Their power and emotion overwelm them beyond their control.
