I get that she didn't want to give up her goal of being her own boss and hostess-bar owner, but what she chose was to accept Yakuza assistance, making her bar essentially, but not legally, theirs and she knew it.

Moving cities and starting over would at least grant her self-control. She wouldn't owe the Yakuza anything.
