^ I actually never thought of it like that. Its a very good point. As much as I doubt Nico will have a POV, he's the perfect person to be the sacrefice. Perc feels a huge responsibility to him, because of the Bianca situation, and him going off the rails. Plus, we're attached enough to Nico that it'll seem utterly crushing. And it'll create drama between Hazel and Frank, because how hard would it be to date the guy who told your brother 'Yes, you do need to die so that the whole of the world doesn't implode'..
