To be honest, I never thought it was a cop out. I think that an ending like that would be fitting for Hound's character, if only because it dodges a lot of tropes. BUT, on the other hand, closure can still be had. So...

So far, I'm with you on your idea. But I should probably make clear, that Victivius wouldn't interfere in getting Hound's soul, because if it really was Hound's time, he'd keep the balance and allw it. However, he could be coerced into getting it FROM Cerberus. Cerberus of course dissed him in his own wheelhouse. He would want revenge. And he could accomplish that by fighting Cerberus for Hound's soul, and then bringing back his mother to humiliate him further. It would be the battle to end all battles...the clash of the Millennium. Or, you know, we can skip the battle.

As far as Cyndwella is concerned...

What if the one who tortured and killed her was none other than Wulf? It fits his M.O. And when Hound  kills him, her sorrow would be released and she would have the option to leave the Memento Mori forever.
