Well, I'd imagine VII will be about (apart from an semi-unrelated set of trap victims) Jill vs Hoffman.

Only his cheek is ripped, and he's in a room that wasn't designed to be a prison, thus easily gotten out of.

...Not that any of that effects what you would do for your edit ending of course. :)

Would you have him still get the trap off? Or you could just end with him in it, struggling hopelessly until the timer runs down, cut to black at zero, and have the sound effect of the trap springing be the last sound you hear as you go to credits.
