Definitely. [There's absolutely no hesitation in Nico's voice when he answers the question.] Whether he succeeded or not, his intention was to save someone in danger, and that's considered an act of heroism. Whatever else he did in his life, all the good he'd done, would've only made his case for Elysium stronger.
[There's a bitter, humorless bark of a laugh.]
Oh, I tried to talk him into it or to trade my own soul for Bianca's, but he couldn't bring my mom back to life when she died, either. Of all the gods, Hades has to uphold that kind of order, no matter what the personal cost is. [And it took a long time to really understand that.] He did make an...exception once. Hazel had been killed about 70 years ago, but I brought her back and dad gave it a pass. Death or Thanatos had been missing at the time, so a lot of good and evil souls were escaping from the Underworld. My plan had been to get Bianca out during the confusion, but then I found Hazel. I couldn't just leave her there after that.
