I feel like Toby is always so intentional with his music/motif choices and this just muddies the waters for no real reason. I somewhat get why Lost Girl was used because Ralsei doesn’t really have his own motif, but it could have incorperated castle town / the legend just because of the setting. Lost Girl’s usage here ruins any connections of that motif to Dess in other scenes. I can excuse it being used for Susie since she IS a lost girl, but Ralsei isn’t even a girl (yet, probably)! Also this makes the ‘is Lost Girl in Black Knife’ debate even worse because even if the motif is there it might not mean anything.

TLDR; I feel like it lowers the impact of the Lost Girl motif in other places

Edit: ALSO just a side note I get why Ralsei doesn’t have his own motif (because he is generally forgotten about by nearly every part of the story and thinks of himself as uniportant) but I still think they could have used a sad version of My Castle Town or smth. Maybe even completely cut the music
