Cynthia's theme may be lacking in a certain big payoff, but I feel like that play well to the song because the intro music (pre-battle, when cynthia's just talking) sets the tone so well for the song, and rather than making it feel like it's without payoff, plays it like the battle is far too close and back and forth to afford a payoff. Just listen to this shit;
