It's pretty much a lesson in how to make a dramatic, touching mini-story with the lowest amount of necessary effort to have an impact, basically 20% effort for 80% result. But after watching it, if you think about it for a moment, the flashback seems to be hard to believe.

The anime's story takes place in modern times, so that woman's backstory is most likely set in the 2010s, in a country among the top 10 with the lowest crime rates in the world. It's not Afghanistan or some African country, such crimes don't simply happen in Japan and stay forgotten, moreover, there's no need for a typical Japanese woman to sell her body, especially a beautiful woman who can easily find a man willing to support her. In first world countries, the vast majority of hookers are there for easy money (it's way more reliable than OnlyFans), not because they are forced by circumstances. A single mom working any basic job in Japan would have enough money to support herself and one daughter. For this to be more realistic, we have to assume that her husband was some low level yakuza guy who was in big debt. If I were given the task to "improve" upon this flashback I'd add that the woman required a lot of money to cure her daughter from some disease, thus the debt, working as a hooker, etc. In the end, the emotional impact was kind of decreased by how my brain didn't feel like the premise was very believable with how it was told.
