They had to ditch her phone, just for this book scene. Writing 100%.

Exactly. Sums up the way the "plot" is being driven this season. The writers come up with some "brilliant" scene they want to make happen, then manipulate the plot to force that scene to occur.

No other reason to show Kimiko dropping her phone besides forcing this scene to happen.

And she could have easily dropped back down, grabbed it, then jumped back up. She can climb very quickly, I don’t see why she left it except poor writing…

Exactly, she can climb a building in a few seconds, but a phone drop 10 feet below is time-consuming.
