Something you're forgetting here.
Spoiler:
In that episode, she had just set the fusion reactor to the base to overload. Considering that she just happened to be stuck in her dead fiance room during a pitched battle, getting herself out probably wasn't possible.
Imminent death in her mind was likely in the next few minutes by nuclear detonation  In that moment Misa had resigned herself to death, and would probably have been resistant to any sort of last minute reprieve.
Oddly enough, the Mars episode is one of my favourites because it allowed everyone to see a completely different side to one of the show's most driven and apparently stable characters. It's also the first time Hikaru had seen the one person he's had a difficult and antagonistic relationship with as a vulnerable human being. Before that Misa was all business, a machine tasked with ordering people to die. |
You're forgetting they were still in radio contact with her. She found a moldy old desk and a few books, made herself comfortable, and ignored everything else around her. It's like she decided Fate had decreed she was going to die there and over her dead body was anything going to change that. All over what seems to have been a simple childhood crush.
Proud military heritage, a long career ahead of her, all too easily it seems she gave up on all of it for what is to me at least a most shallow reason.
