It looks like she's trying to weigh up exactly how much this whole shebang is worth to Lehm. He offered 20, she raises to 50 and he'll make the deal. If she then makes it to the middle and finds the answer Lehm is looking for, I wonder if she won't try to raise the stakes even higher.
As for how she'll get there. There's any number of possibilities. We already know she's unique in that she can effectively shut off emotions if she's prepared to. I don't the the acceptance technique is the only card up her sleeve. I think she can go back to her childhood mask if she needs to. Go to land of despair, limit emotional output and keep on walking.
Another alternative would possibly be lucid dreaming. They've all described this as a dream, where the dream becomes your reality. If may is able to lucid dream at will, and considering her pyschology it really wouldn't surprise me, she may be able to remember she's in the dream and keep on walking.
Or the third alternative, which is cheating the system, doing something to herself such that she's forced to keep on walking, maybe self hypnosis, maybe a thumbtack in the front of her shoe, who knows.
But in all likelyhood it's none of the above.
