Nel is afraid of the Espada in her child form and her healing ability is not remotely on Orihime's level which is what would be required. She only used her ability previous at the insistence of Ichigo. Also what proof is there we each listed confirmed reasoning to why he is most likely gone. I like the character and what him to be alive is not a viable reason.
