How does Yona in Snowpiercer have clairvoyant power?

Vishnu

In the movie Snowpiercer the character Yona warns Curtis not to open the door and seems to sense humans from the other side of the door. At one point Curtis asks her if she is clairvoyant. Is this true?

Yona is a train baby. According to the director/writer and fan theories I read, babies who are born on the train might have developed a good hearing sense as they were raised inside poorly lit windowless train cars. Then the Kronole drug Yona consumes might have heightened her hearing abilities through the habituated sound profile of the train.

Woah! This is actually a brilliant theory. But why don’t the rest of the train babies have this ability? Edgar did not look like he had any of it.

Not only Edgar but Grey was a train baby too. They both are teens. As they grew up at the back with cars full of people and noises they might not have developed the hearing ability. But Yona, being the engineer’s daughter might have had the right environment to have developed some echolocation ability along with her addiction to Kronole.
