And that's why she does it. It's a case of wanting to do a pretty FMV of her jumping off (probably to add shock/drama to the game trailers back then) and failing to properly write in the justification for it. Classic case of writing the story around the graphics instead of creating the graphics to support the story, which happens in modern games. It didn't bother me too much.

Calling it a distraction works well enough though
